• <br />• <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING DATE: <br />TOPIC: <br />AGENDA ITEM 6B <br />Michael Grochala <br />July 14, 2008 <br />Consideration of Resolution No. 08 -72, Approving <br />Easement Acquisition, Lake Dr /35W Interchange <br />Improvements <br />VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The reconstruction of the Lake Drive /35W interchange required the extension of the <br />Judicial Ditch 10 -22 -32 culvert under Lake Drive. Right of Way and easements for the <br />widening of the roadway and extension of the culvert were obtained during the City's <br />original acquisition process. However, the extension of the culvert also required <br />placement of fill materials within the regulatory floodplain of J.D. 10- 22 -32. In <br />accordance with the Rice Creek Watershed District permit, the project included <br />excavation of the ditch corridor to provide compensatory mitigation to off -set the fill <br />impacts. <br />During the construction process it was determined that the mitigation area was not <br />covered by any drainage easement associated with the Judicial Ditch. As such it is <br />necessary to obtain a permanent drainage easement (5,940 sq.ft.) and a temporary <br />construction easement (321 sq.ft.). Following completion of an appraisal prepared by <br />McKinzie Metro Appraisal staff has reached agreement with the property owner in the <br />amount of $9,957.00. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 08 -72. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1. Resolution No. 08 -72 <br />2. Easement Exhibit <br />44 <br />
