HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 06.h Date: Item No. AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION LOAN FUNDS FOR THE PURCHASE OF 2.08 ACRES NEAR I-35 AND CO. RD 50 Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Approval of a resolution authorizing the submittal of a Right-of-Way Acquisition Loan Fund (RALF) Application to the Metropolitan Council for the acquisition of property located at 17471 Kenwood Trail. Overview The City Council approved an Official Map for the future I-35/ CSAH 50/5 Interchange in 2004. This Official Map identifies the need to acquire a portion of the property and eliminate the current access locations for property located at 17471 Kenwood Trail (former BP Gas Station currently College Hunks Hauling Junk Property). The RALF Loan from the Met Council is a no interest loan with no termination date. When the property is conveyed to the road authority, the RALF program is reimbursed the actual acquisition cost for the portion of the property being conveyed with funds for the interchange project construction. Utilizing the RALF program provides the necessary funding to secure this property that is currently listed for sale and preserves it for the future I-35/ CSAH 50 interchange project at no direct cost to the City. Staff recommends approval of the submittal of a RALF application. If the preliminary application is approved the City would need to have an independent appraisal and Phase I Environmental Audit completed. The City Council would also have to approve a purchase agreement with the current owner. Primary Issues to Consider • Is the City’s acquisition of this property with RALF funds at this time appropriate? It provides the City with outside funding to acquire a property from a willing seller that will be needed for this future interchange.
