Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; The reconstruction of Long Lake Road is a joint effort between the City of Mounds View and Ramsey County. To allow for adequate width between County Road H-2 and County Road I and to allow for drainage structures, the City needs to acquire permanent ease- ments for roadway and utility purposes. We have reached agreement with Mounds View Square and Sunrise Methodist Church for neces- sary easements. The cost of these easements is $22 ,618 and $4,075 respectively. The Mounds View Square easement cost is the negotiated value arrived at by our negotiator, Evergreen Land Services. The City's appraisal for this easement was $21,500. Under state law Mounds View Square is entitled to an appraisal; their appraisal showed a value of $23 ,735. The recommended payment of $22 , 618 is the average of the 2 appraisals. This is an increase of $1,118 over the City's appraisal: To condemn the property could cost between $2 , 500 and $3 ,000 . Therefore, the negotiated settlement repre- sents a savings of over $1,000. The easement for the Sunrise Methodist Church was appraised at $4,075 and their board of directors agreed to the value. • Ric M' net:' City Engineer/Director ,of Public Works BELCI a recommends Council authorize the payments to Mounds View Square Associates and Sunrise Methodist Church in the amounts of $22 ,618 and $4,075 for permanent easements.
