MEDINA – The village has been offered a 100-by-132 foot vacant lot at 115 Pearl St.
The village can have it for free. It is being offered by 415 West Avenue LLC, which is owned by Dr. Syed Shah, a cardiologist.
Dr. Shah initially offered the land for the Medina Fire Department but that lot isn’t a good fit for the fire department, Mayor Marguerite Sherman said. The village instead could use it as a municipal lot.
The site used to have a structure on it, but that building was taken down several years ago.
The lot is between the Hometown Wellness Center at 119 Pearl St. and MDS Consultants at 105 Pearl St.
The village is doing a deed and title search on the property at 115 Pearl Street to ensure there isn’t a lien on it. That should cost less than $1,000.
The land about a decade ago was owned by Vincent Cardone and the Cardone Family Trust. The lot is currently assessed at $10,200.
The Village Board agreed to not have any citations go to the owner for tall weeds and grass while the property is in the process of being acquired.
The village is doing a title search to make sure there are no liens on the property.
