• In addition,these homes are at the price point of starter homes in Minnesota yet the traffic on 14011 St N would <br /> be a safety concern for young families considering a purchase.The existence of the Bald Eagle Industrial Park <br /> thus reduces demand on these properties,depressing their market value. <br /> • Any marginal benefit of the proposed partial road rehabilitation is vastly outweighed by the ongoing burden <br /> these residences experience from being situated on the main traffic artery for an industrial park. <br /> • In effect,residential owners are being asked to subsidize a project that will reduce their property value and <br /> quality of life by increasing the viability of the Bald Eagle Industrial Park. <br /> Recommendations <br /> On this basis,I can continue to support the proposed 2026 Bald Eagle Industrial Park Area Street Improvement <br /> Project conditional on the City pursuing one of the following options: <br /> • Exemption.Residential properties on 140th St N should be exempted from assessment given the road's primary <br /> function as industrial access infrastructure. <br /> • Reclassification. The stretch of 140th St N serving the industrial park could be reclassified as a collector/arterial <br /> road rather than a local residential street,changing funding obligations and assessment structures. <br />
