CIP Memo February 19, 1996 Page 6 Attached for your review is a quote from Peter Patchin and Associates regarding an appraisal to determine the benefit of trunk utilities to the eastern part of Elk River. This is not a parcel by parcel appraisal, but a quote for a much more detailed analysis of benefit to properties of various zoning and land use classifications. This information as proposed from Patchin and Associates, should be sufficient to determine benefit to various types of properties and should be sufficient to get us through any public hearing and ordering of a public improvement project. If we end up going to court over the assessments of this project, then a more detailed, parcel by parcel, appraisal will be necessary for the properties that are appealing the assessment. This proposed work could be completed by April 29, 1996. At the 1/15/96 meeting, the city engineer reviewed Options A-D. The Council should note that we are not locked into any one of these options and that any variation of these options can be looked at for a project area. At this time, no project area is established. Also discussed on 1/15 was the merits of going down Highway 10 or across Highway 169 with the project. It was clearly the consensus of the Council that it desired the project to go across Highway 169 rather than down Highway 10. Also discussed on 1/15 was the merits of the city pushing this project versus developers pulling this project across Highway 169. Again, it was clearly the desire of the Council to have this project developer initiated. Nonetheless, some Councilmember also expressed a desire to get information about this project public and to go through a public hearing on some type of public improvement proposal. It is suggested that we not go through the public hearing until we get the Patchin appraisal authorized and completed so that firm maximum assessment amounts can be presented and discussed by the public. County Road I Update County Engineer Dave Schwarting has a scheduling problem and cannot attend this meeting as originally planned. Dave will make a presentation on this project to the City Council on February 26, 1996. Terry Maurer will be in attendance at this Council meeting. Riverview Heights Attached for your information is a summary of the Riverview Heights information meeting that was held on 2/8/96. This neighborhood meeting was conducted in order to provide information to residents regarding the various aspects of a public improvement project. The summary from the city engineer is a good starting point for discussion at this 2/19/96 meeting.
