2. The acquisition of the Real Property by the exercise of the power of eminent <br /> domain in the manner provided for by Minnesota Statutes Chapter 117 serves a public purpose <br /> and is deemed to be necessary to further the objectives of the Development Program, the 1995 <br /> Comprehensive Plan and the 1997 Planning Study. <br /> <br /> 3. The City of Elk River deems it necessary for the purposes of completing the <br /> <br /> reconstruction of 175th Street and encouraging development in the Development District, <br /> increasing the tax base therein, and generally providing for the health, safety, morals and <br /> welfare of its citizens to acquire said Real Property. <br /> <br /> 4. Because the reconstruction of 175th Street is to begin in early 2002, prior to the <br /> <br />time by which court-appointed commissioners could reasonably be expected to render their <br />award for the taking of the Real Property, the City of Elk River deems it necessary to proceed <br />without delay under Minn. Stat. § 117.042 to pay to the owners or into court a sum of money to <br />secure compensation to the owners of the real property, which amount shall be equal to the <br />city's approved appraisal value as determined by City staff. <br /> <br /> 5, The City of Elk River staff is hereby authorized and directed to execute all <br /> <br />documents and contracts necessary to acquire the Real Property from the owners identified in <br />Exhibit A, which actions include the specific authorization to: (a) obtain appraisals or minimum <br />damage assessments of the real property interests to be acquired; (b) make written offers to <br />affected property owners and negotiate such offers to a successful conclusion; (c) acquire the <br />real property interests needed at the appraised value plus additional damages, if any, as <br />approved by the City Administrator; and (d) in circumstances where negotiation proves to be <br />unsuccessful or has already proven to be unsuccessful, condemn the real property interests <br />needed under the procedures provided for in applicable Minnesota Statutes, and in compliance <br />with all requirements of said statutes, including using the quick take procedure set forth in Minn. <br />Stat. § 117.042. <br /> <br />815640J-0045 RESOLUTION 3-6-0211] <br /> <br /> <br />
