CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 28, 2015
AGENDA#: 5H
PREPARED BY: LARRY POPPLER, CITY ENGINEER/ INSPECTIONS DIRECTOR
PRESENTED BY: LARRY POPPLER
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR
AND CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN EASEMENT AGREEMENT WITH
RANDY RIES AND ROBERTA LATHAM
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to review an easement agreement for the
Randy Ries and Roberta Latham property. The easement is over City parkland
off Pershing Street.
History
In 2014, the City received a number of code enforcement complaints within the
Pershing Street neighborhood. As investigations of specific cases ensued, it was
discovered that a gravel driveway for 3995 Pershing Street was not located within
the private property limits and is located on Westbury Park Property near Dutch
Avenue (PID#s 252950370 and 251010160).
The home at 3995 Pershing Street was constructed in 1954 and the driveway in
question has been in its current location since that time. A second driveway to
the upper portion of the lot is also located on this property. The City took owner-
ship of the park property in 1994. The City Attorney's office advises that because
of the City ownership this driveway is not grandfathered.
Current Circumstances
The City and property owner wish to clarify this situation. The attached easement
agreement provides a mechanism to allow the driveway to remain on park prop-
erty. Movement of the driveway outside of the park property would be costly and
likely involve construction of retaining wall.
In 2011, the City entered into an agreement with Burt Olson on a very similar situ-
ation near West Avenue and over Lakefront Park property. As a part of the Olson
agreement, the City was compensated for the easement at a rate of$3.75 per
square foot and compensated for staff and attorney time of$1,500. The driveway
was also required to be paved.
Mr. Ries has provided the attached letter regarding his situation and has re-
quested that the City grant the easement over park property but not require pay-
ment for the easement. Payment for the driveway easement at $3.75 per square
foot would require payment to the City of$3,945. Adding staff and City Attorney
costs of $1,500 would result in a total cost of$5,445.
ISSUES: The current driveway encroaches onto City property, by approving this agreement
the City is acknowledging the encroachment and memorializing the management
of that encroachment through a perpetual easement.
FINANCIAL IM- Unless the City Council waives the compensation provision, the City of Prior Lake
PACT: will receive $5,445 as compensation for the easement. This includes $1,500 for
staff and City Attorney time to execute the easement agreement documents. This
also includes the cost for the easement itself. The City used a price of$3.75 per
square foot to calculate the easement cost which was the same rate utilized for a
similar agreement in 2011.
All costs associated with the asphalt installation and restoration associated with
the driveway will be borne by Mr. Ries and Ms. Latham.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve a resolution as part of the consent agenda authorizing the Mayor and
City Manager to execute an Easement Agreement with Randy Ries and Rob-
erta Latham at a cost to the private parties of $5445.
2. Remove the item from the consent agenda and consider approving the reso-
lution approving the easement agreement at no cost as requested by the peti-
tioner.
3. Deny or table the Resolution.
RECOMMENDED A motion and a second for approval of Alternative #1

9/11/2015
To: City of Prior Lake
From: Randy, Robby&Chelsea Ries
Subject: Driveway easement
Commissioners,
We live at 3995 Pershing Street SW in Prior Lake. Chelsea is our 26 year old daughter with
special needs.She needs assistance with most everything including ambulating. 5 years ago I lost my
business due to the recession. Over the past 4 years our household income was less than$40,000.All of
this contributes to the stress we are feeling regarding the dispute about our existing driveway.
The driveway in question was put in over 60 years ago by the property owners, Bill &Ed
Simpkins and the resident at that time, Dave Borgerding.The driveway is the approach to a double
garage and the back side of the house which is our main access to our home.As I understand it,the said
driveway was maintained for 38 years prior to the city taking ownership as a result of probate and tax
forfeiture. Even with that,there was no motion regarding said driveway for more than 20 years. It was
not until 2013 that it was brought to our attention that we are required to pay$5.00 per square foot for
the easement,while buildable property in Prior Lake is going for$1.75 per square foot.
I am prepared to tar the driveway which is a cost of$10,000. In preparation I have already
moved the sewer line at a cost of$3,200.00.These together cause hardship as we have to use our
retirement saving to complete the job.We are asking that you consider"grandfathering" it to us as this
narrow parcel is not buildable and really adds little or no value to the city.
Respectfully,
Randy& Robby Ries
