Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />175TH AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS <br />LAND ACQUISITION <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />As you are aware, the reconstruction of 1751h Avenue from Tyler Street to Fillmore Street is <br />scheduled for the summer of 2002. We have been working toward that goal and have received <br />final approval on all federal paperwork relative to the TEA-21 grant and have received final <br />approval of the construction plans. Land acquisition efforts have been ongoing for the past <br />several months. I have personally met one or more times with all but three property owners <br />along 1751h Avenue, and continue to try to make contact with the last three property owners. <br />Based on federal guidelines, I have been making written offers to each of the property owners in <br />an amount that was established by Evergreen Land Services. I have told all of the property <br />owners that the City Council has not considered the issue of assessments for the street <br />construction and has not officially taken a position on whether or not sanitary sewer and water <br />will be included with the project, but has cleady stated that if they are, they will not be assessed <br />to properties on the south side of the road nor assessed properties on the north side prior to <br />2007 except for Developers asking for the utility service. <br /> <br />The following table provides a list of the property owners and the offer that has been made to <br /> <br />them: <br /> <br />Mitchell Right-of-way given in Park Pointe Plat <br />Holen $2,875 <br />ChubaNan Patten $2,725 <br />Brinza $575 <br />Monte $1,475 <br />Osmund $3,100 <br />Meisenbach $1,525 <br />Robinson $3,775 <br />Graham $1,375 <br />Ganyo $1,175 <br />Klein Easement signed <br />Schneider $5,450 <br />Cargill Easement to be given based on global <br /> agreement <br /> $1,450 <br /> $1,375 <br /> $26,875 <br /> <br />Collins <br />Myhre <br /> TOTAL <br /> <br />Ltr 1-24-02 Council <br /> 1326 Energy Park Drive · St. Paul, MN 55108 · 651/644-4389 fax 651/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389 <br /> <br /> <br />
