BAoKo ul DMU TIFI TI N: The City is contemplating an Improvement Project which would page LaBoau
Avenue from 75th Street to 80th Street and would assess a portion of the cost to the benefited property
owners along LaB a lx Avenue which is essentially a frontage road on Wright County Highway 19. The
assessment hearing for the project is scheduled for the second meeting in Jure, ,dune 24.
In order to proceed with the project it is necessary to obtain a portion of the Slavic property for
purposes of constructing a cul de sac. The City Engineer has spoken with the Slavics about this ratter. i
order to obtain fair compensation for thproperty, Citystaff is recommending that the ity orderan
appraisal of the property prior to the assessment hearing. City staff recommend that the City Council
authorize the ordering of an appraisal from Nagell Appraisal & Consulting who is already doing
appraisals in the Cityfor the 70th Street Project. Bill I aytas of fugal[ has agreed that they would do that
appraisal for the same amount as the others previously ordered.
Additionally, the ditches in front of the houses along LaBeau cAvenue are not within the recorded right
f gray of LaBeaux avenue. The City cannot obtain prescriptive rights to facilities for drainage lying
outside of a platted road within the City. Therefore, if the ditch work is to be included within the project,
and (maintained by the City after the project is done, the City needs to obtain permanent drainage and
utility easements from the property owners. In order to insure that the right owners sign and that there
are no unknown encumbrances affecting the easement area of each property the City should order
owners and encumbrance reports for the affected properties. The cost per report is approximately
$100.00.
