RE: Acquisition of Right -of -Way for Realignment of the 69th Avenue -
Shingle Creek Parkway Intersection
On March 22, 1982, the City Council adopted a "Resolution Authorizing City
Manager To Initiate Negotiations For Purchase Of Right -Of -Way Required To
Allow Realignment Of The 69th Avenue - Shingle Creek Parkway Intersection".
To date we have:
(1) hired Merila and Associates to conduct a land survey and
prepare a legal description of the property required for
right-of-way purposes (copy attached); and
9 Y P ur P
(2) requested Pete Koole to prepare an appraisal of the property
(copy attached).
While the appraised value of the taking.is nearly $80,000, it is noted that
this cost is less than the cost for a set of traffic signals, and that our
analyses have shown that the present geometrics of the intersection would.
require future installation of a traffic signal system while the realigned
q 9
t A
intersection will function well without a traffic signal system. . lso , the
realignment will provide the most efficient traffic movement patterns and will
improve safety. Accordingly, I recommend that we now proceed with the acquisition.
However, before instructing the City Attorney to proceed, I request your review
and comment.

Re: Reroute 69th Avenue at Palmer Lake
Dear Dick:
I have reviewed the proposed land acquisition and estimate the total :value
of the taking to be $78 ,364,81. This is divided between the Sheehy Construc-
tion Company ($60,700.00 - $54,000.00 for the loss of six building lots for
townhouses, and $6,700.00 severance damages for the obsolescence of existing
underground utilities as a result of the project; and the Earle Brown Farm
Townhouses Homeowners Association ($17,664.81) as severance damages for the
loss of the potential contribution of the six lots toward future common area
maintenance charges..
The damage amounts listed above are based upon the following assumptions:
1. The calculation of the number of lots taken was by a density
calculation of the land area taken, not a tabulation of the
lots affected in the existing plat..
2. The existing plat was deemed not applicable to future development
for the following reasons:
A. An N.S.P. easement passing through portions of
four existing "lots.
B. Uneconomic use of land area as far as density is
concerned.
C. Current market conditions probably would preclude
building this type of unit in this area.,,
D. Building setbacks were already in violation of City.
Codes prior to the City's proposed project and
would have to be corrected before further construction
could commence.

R,J,5ch1r >ffer - 10/4/82 Page 2
3, flo Severance damages were awarded for the costs of replatting
Since this would probably be required even without City .
intervention for future development of this project.
4, With the exception of the most northerly sewer and water
installations in the project, all other street and utility
Facilities are deemed usable in a new future re -plat.
5, it is assumed that the City would assume all costs of
relocating the project entrance and site restoration, even
on the private property involved.
Sincerely,
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
