As part of the <br /> review effort, property owners in the vicinity of the project were contacted to determine if a <br /> willing seller was present in the project area and to discuss the possibility of the City acquiring <br /> • drainage easements for the purposes of constructing an overflow swale. The following <br /> comments were received: <br /> Address Comments Received <br /> 2800 St. Anthony Blvd. Property is not available for sale to the City for the purposes of <br /> demolition and construction of a stormwater holding pond. <br /> 2701 Pahl Avenue No comment provided. <br /> 2705 Pahl Avenue Prefers the option of home purchase to easement acquisition for <br /> construction of an overflow swale. Further indicated that the home <br /> may be available for a price of approximately $195,000. <br /> 2713 Pahl Avenue' Home is not available for purchase by the City, but would consider <br /> allowing the City to purchase an easement over the western portion of <br /> the property for the purposes of constructing an overflow swale. The <br /> easement purchase would be contingent upon approval of the swale <br /> design by the homeowner. <br /> 2709 Pahl Avenue Homeowner will provide an easement to the city in lieu of purchase <br /> of their home. <br /> • Based on these conversations and a review of the site, we believe the following options are <br /> available to reduce the impacts of flooding in the vicinity of 2709 Pahl Avenue: <br /> Infrastructure Engineers Planners <br /> F:\WPWM1065.19\081899hmc.wpd <br /> EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br />
