HomeMy WebLinkAbout7C - CR 42 Upgrade Project AGENDA #: PREP ARED BY: SUBJECT: 7C LANOL LEICHTY, WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 97-XX, AUTHORIZING PAYMENT FOR AN EASEMENT ON THE PROPOSED REGIONAL WATER QUALITY POND AS P ART OF THE CSAH 42 UPGRADE PROJECT. JUL Y 7, 1997 DATE: INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this agenda item is to consider payment for an easement over the proposed regional water quality pond property which will be constructed as part of the County Road 42 upgrade. BACKGROUND: On March 3, 1997, Council passed Resolution 97-12 approving the regional water quality pond concept as part of the County Road 42 upgrade and authorized staff to negotiate for the acquisition of land for the regional water quality pond. After several discussions the owners of the property, Gordon Beneke and John Corsbie, have agreed to grant easements to the City as shown on the attached map. An appraisal for the property in question was completed by Lake Region Appraisal Services. The wetland portion of the land was valued at $3,300 per acre and upland was valued at $12,300 per acre. DISCUSSION: This project involves eliminating six individual NURP ponds and constructing one regional NURP pond to meet the water quality needs for this drainage area. Storm sewer pipe will be installed as part of the CSAH 42 upgrade project to pipe the water to the regional pond. This project reflects a long range planning approach. The numerous advantages of a regional pond design are that it can be sized to handle water quality needs for multiple properties. The NURP ponds required for the Wensmann site will be eliminated and the NURP pond needs for the upgrade of Pike Lake Trail will also be met by the regional pond. Other advantages are: 1) minimized use of developable commercial property for ponding purposes, 2) safety - one pond versus six, 3) elimination of four CSAH 42 162cm~~~~rereek Ave. S,E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 553712-1714 / Ph.

The subject property consists of approximately 19 acres of land. Of this 19 acres, 2.5 acres is located in the upper northeast and is separated from the remaining property by a driveway easement to a private residence. The remaining 16.5 acres consists of 2.2 acres of lake and 5.0 acres of wetland leaving approximately 9.3 acres of upland. The easement area to be acquired is approximately 10 acres. Staff has negotiated with the owners and have come to an agreement regarding the location of drainage and utility easements and monetary compensation. This project will be financed by County reimbursements, Trunk Reserve Funds and storm water fees. The total cost for easement acquisition is as follows: 5.52 acres upland x $12,300/ac = $67,896.00 4.84 acres wetland x $3,300/ac = $15,972.00 Total = $83,868.00 If Council approves the easement acquisition, the owners have asked that the City make two equal payments, one payment in 1997 and one payment in 1998. Finance Director Ralph Teschner confirms that this payment schedule is satisfactory from a financial perspective. The alternatives are as follows: 1. Approve Resolution 97-XX authorizing payment of $83,868.00 for permanent easements over the regional water quality pond property as part of the CSAH 42 upgrade project. 2. Table this item for a specific reason. 3. Deny this agenda item for specific reasons. Alternative No.1. Staff recommends that the Council approve Resolution 97-XX approving payment for an easement over the proposed regional water quality pond. 2 ACTION REQUIRED: REGPNDAG.DOC A motion and second to approve Resolution 97-XX.
