MOUNDS VIEW City of Mounds View Staff Report Item No: 4 Meeting Date: September 7 Type of Business: Council Workshop City Administrator Review: To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Long Lake Woods Development Introduction: Owner's representative Marty Harstad has communicated that the city imposed requirement of obtaining all seven property owners has now been achieved. Council has determined this will be a public project — we will build and own the infrastructure. Thus, development costs include street, storm water, sanitary sewer, and municipal water. There is some question on the storm water infrastructure needed (as stormwater from the south traverses the property) but staff believes that issue will be resolved in the feasibility study. Discussion: The next step in this process is executing the development agreement with Mr. Harstad. There are "blanks" to be filled in and they are specific to assessment and development costs. 1. The development will create 12 new lots and result in two non -conforming lots owned by Mr. Holl and Mr. and Mrs. Doll becoming conforming, thus buildable. Kennedy and Graven has opined that those two lots cannot be assessed due to a provision in our city charter. However, they advise that if utility hook up's are built into the project (and staff recommends they are) that a "hook-up" fee equal to the assessment can be imposed and collected at the time connections are made. Thus Doll and Holl incur no cost as part of the development and only incur cost if and when a hook-up is made. 2. Condemnation costs cannot be spread across the 12 but not across Doll (but possibly Holl) and are estimated to total between $40,000 and $60,000 with legal fees and property acquisition cost as a function of the appraisal process detailed in statute. The property owners, via their representative; who are surrendering their right of way at no cost, question the equity of this situation.
