Item No. 7C Type of Business: CA WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Resolution No. 5813 Authorizing the Preparation and Acquisition of Easements for the County Road H2 Street Project Meeting Date: August 12, 2002 Background: On July 22, 2002, City Council Adopted Resolution No. 5804 awarding the construction contract for the County Road H2 Street Project and authorizing the Mayor and City Administrator to sign said contract. Discussion: The City will need to obtain both temporary construction and permanent easements as part of this project. Specifically, a total of twenty (20) temporary easements and two (2) permanent easements are needed. Temporary Easements With a project of this nature, the goal is to match the new roadway in to the existing grades of the lawns and driveway slopes. This ensures the best-finished product for the property owner. Based on the slopes of some yards and driveways, there is a need to go beyond the available right-of-way to match the existing grade. In order to allow the contractor to perform this work, the City will need to obtain temporary construction easements. In the event that a temporary easement is not obtained, the contractor will perform the work within the right-of-way limits. Permanent Easements There are two permanent pathway easements needed for this project. These pathway easements will allow for the construction and on going maintenance of the proposed pathway on the north side. The easement areas are located on the two easterly parcels on the north side of County Road H2. Jake’s Sports Café owns both said parcels. Staff has met with representatives of Jake’s Sports Café to discuss the dedication of these easements. A copy of a draft pathway easement was presented at this meeting for their review.
