<br /> <br />REQUEST FOR ACTION <br /> <br />To <br />Ci Council <br />Agenda Section <br />Consent <br />Item Description <br />Land Swap Between Fire Station No.1 Gackson Avenue) and <br />Sherburne County Highway Department <br /> <br />Meeting Date <br />Se tember 4, 2007 <br /> <br />Item Number <br />3.5.* <br /> <br />Prepared by <br />Ter Maurer, Public Works Director <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Approval of a quitclaim deed to transfer property from the City of Elk River to Sherburne County. <br /> <br />Backiround/Discussion <br />The attached exhibit is of the area between Fire Station No.1 and Sherburne County Public Works <br />Department on Jackson Avenue. As indicated by the exhibit, the Fire Station north property line is <br />approximately 3' north of the building. There is also a portion of the Fire Station property at the west <br />side that extends northerly behind the Sherburne County Public Works Department. We have been <br />discussing a potential land swap with Sherburne County since the ambulance bay construction has been <br />completed. What is being proposed is that the City will quitclaim to Sherburne County an area of 3,427 <br />square feet immediately north of the Sherburne County Public Works facility. In exchange for that, <br />Sherburne County will quitclaim to the City of Elk River an area of 1,200 square feet adjacent to the <br />remainder of the City of Elk River property. This is the area where the Fire Departmcnt often times does <br />training exercises. In addition, Sherburne County will provide approximately 6,000 square feet of ingress <br />egress easement over their paved area so that we will have the right to drive on their property to access <br />the Fire Station garage doors. This has been happening informally for a nutnber of years. <br /> <br />This land swap will formalize the ability to utilize Sherburne County property for ingress and egress to the <br />City Fire Station. Should Sherburne County not be the owner of this building in the future, it is <br />important that we formalized this transaction and have the rights established. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />Nonc. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />.
