WHEREAS, the City, through the foreclosure of demolition liens, tax sales and other methods of acquisition, has acquired title to numerous parcels of real property which are of minimal value and costly to clean up and maintain, and because title to such properties was vested in the City, the properties were exempted from real estate taxes, thus depriving the City of revenue; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to an ordinance (the "Original Program Ordinance") adopted by the City Council ofthe City ("City Council") on March 6, 1981 and published on pages 5584 - 5585 of the Journal of Proceedings of the City Council ("Journal") for such date, the City established a program for the disposition of certain vacant real property owned by the City known as the Adjacent Neighbors Land Acquisition Program; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the ANLAP Program: (i) if the property appraises at or for less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) the minimum acceptable bid must be at least One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00); or (ii) if the property appraises at or for less than Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) but more than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) the minimum acceptable bid must be at least Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00); or (iii) if the property appraises for more than Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) the minimum acceptable bid must be Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00), plus fifty percent (50%) of the appraised value which exceeds Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00); and

|1010|
adjacent to a city-owned parcel and at least one of the parcels is an improved parcel which the person occupies as his primary residence; and

The covenants shall terminate ten (10) years after the date of the conveyance of the parcel to the grantee; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Planning and Development ("DPD") ofthe City desires to convey the vacant parcel of real property identified on Exhibit A to this ordinance (the "ANLAP Parcel") to Lottie Hardy (the "Purchaser"), who has a principal residence of 5545 South Princeton Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60621; and
