CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE EASEMENT
AGREEMENTS AND JUST COMPENSATION FOR THE CR 21 WATERMAIN
REPLACEMENT PROJECT
DISCUSSION:
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to seek approval from the City Council for
a resolution approving the easement agreements for the CR 21 Watermain
Project.
Historv
During the winter of 2008-2009 the City experienced several watermain breaks
in the CR 21 Watermain between Eau Claire Trail and Quincey Street. The
City Council ordered a Feasibility Report to examine the condition of the
watermain and options for its repair or replacement. The Feasibility Report
was presented to the City Council on June 15, 2009. Based on the condition
of the watermain described and depicted in the Feasibility Study, breaks will
continue if the watermain is not replaced.
On June 15, 2009 the City Council authorized SRF to negotiate easements on
the City's behalf for construction of the watermain on the northern boulevard of
CR 21. The proposed project impacts three parcels.
Current Circumstances
On the City's behalf SRF completed appraisals and a just compensation
analysis. Tentative compensation agreements have been agreed to by all
three parcels pending City Council approval. The following agreements were
reached:
Parcel Fee SF Easement Permanent Cost to Total
Value Value Easement Cure! Compensation
Value Damages
I 1-Scott $8.00 75% $21,200 $0.00 $21,200 I
I 2-Bergquist $8.00 75% $20,000 $0.00 $20,000 I
I 3-Baer $18.00 60% $34,100 $0.00 $34,100 I
The total project easement compensation is $75,300.
ISSUES:
The City Council will consider award of bids at its September 21st meeting,
and in order to allow for construction to proceed the easements are needed.
Due to a CR 21 right-of-way discrepancy with the Parcel 3 property irons final
approval of the easement compensation will be delayed until the September
21st meeting. The property owner of parcel 3 has signed a right of entry
allowing construction to proceed.
