David Aras Right -of -Way Letter - Mr. Stahlberg explained that the Council has authorized him to proceed with negotiations to obtain the right -of -way to the north /south street leading north from Woodridge Estates. The negotiations have not been finalized and Mr. Aras has made some demands regarding future hookups and assurances that there will be no assessments. Mr. Hawkins told the Council the cleanest way to handle this situation is to have the land appraised and allow the Aras' 196 COUNCIL MEETING JULY 10, 1989 to get a separate appraisal and the negotiate a purchase price. While the negotiations proceed, the City can authorize the City Attorney to proceed with eminent domain proceedings and the improvement project will not be delayed. He felt by bowing to the demands a precedence would be set. Mr. Bisel asked how the City got into this type of a situation. Mr. Schumacher explained that this situation began with the development of Woodridge Estates and the need to bring the sewer and water lines to Woodridge Estates from the north. Several locations had been proposed for the easements and the Aras' agreed to allow the easement cross their property. Since that time surveyors have established the line. This was not acceptable to the Aras' and the line was moved and they have not agreed to its location. Mr. Bisel commented that the right -of -way issue should have been finalized prior to the start of construction. Mr. Neal moved to set a deadline for Friday, July 21, 1989 to finalize negotiation and to begin the eminent domain procedure. Mr. Hawkins suggested that the Council could authorize the action for eminent domain proceedings at this time since it will take several days to begin the paper work involved. Mr. Bisel asked Mr. Schumacher to notify Mr. Aras that the eminent domain proceedings have been authorized. After further discussion, Mr. Neal withdrew his motion. Mr. Bisel moved to authorize eminent domain proceedings on this matter and to notify Mr. and Mrs. Aras in writing. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
