Resolution declared adopted. <br />REALIGNMENT The City Administrator reviewed his memo dated June 10, 2006 relative <br />OZ' VIKING to the potential to realign Viking Drive near the Rice Street/Highway 36 <br />DRIVE interchange. The Administrator stated that from a Craffic management <br />standpoint it would be ideal to eliminate Viking Drive's connection to <br />Rice Street and reroute it to Minnesota Avenue. <br />In working to realign Viking Drive, there are several properties that would <br />be involved. These include McDonalds, Oasis Market, and two residential <br />homes on Viking Drive. <br />The Administrator further reported that McDonald's is interested in <br />tearing down their existing restaurant and reconstructing a new restaurant <br />on their property. Given the L-shape of the McDonald's property, it is a <br />somewhat difficult to property to work with. <br />To facilitate the McDonald's redevelopment as well as the realignment, <br />the Administrator noted that there is some excess Rice Street right-of-way <br />thaC could be vacated and combined with Che McDonald's property, if <br />McDonald's is willing to on the Viking Drive realignment. The owners of <br />Oasis Market have expressed a willingness to sell, and their asking price is <br />close to Che County's market value. Oasis would like to close on a sale by <br />the end of July. All or a portion of this property could be incorporated <br />into the McDonald's redevelopment. The Administrator further noted that <br />the two residential homes on Viking Drive are currently for sale. <br />LaValle asked if McDonald's would be willing to buy the Oasis property. <br />The City Administrator did not think McDonald's would buy the Oasis <br />
