Case #2: Update on Implementation of Storm Drainage Utility Staff reported that there are a number of commerciaI, industrial parcels which would need to be analyzed for the determination of the appropriate storm water utility charge and recommended the delay in implementing the charges during the second quarter. This would mean a loss of approximately $87,500 in revenue for fiscal year 2000. It was the direction of the Committee, however, that the second quarter billing for the storm water utility be implemented with a notation on those properties for which the proper charge had not been determined that they will receive a bill for this quarter during the third quarter of 2000. Action: Motion to ratify the recommendation of the Committee. Case #4: Update on Rademacher/T.H. #47 Access Issue With the construction of T.H. #47 proceeding, staff presented a proposal to the Committee, which would involve several parcels located along the southeast comer of T.H. #47 and 153rd Avenue. This proposal would have a number of benefits to all parties concerned and to the general public which would include the following: Remove any potential for access to T.H. #47 from three parcels by providing a single ingress access only. Providing access from the neighborhood to the signalized intersection at 153rd Avenue. · Meet the needs of the Ramsey Medical Clinic, which wishes to expand eastward and perhaps settle the current condemnation action. · Provide land needed for the resolution of the drainage problem being experienced in the Willow Ridge subdivision. The Committee had a number of concerns with the proposal and suggested that the action be delayed so that they would have an opportunity to meet with the property owners to discuss the proposal further. This issue is to be revisited at the reconvened Public Works Committee on Tuesday, June 27. Case #5: Update on 153/155 Project Land Acquisition Staff reported that there are four parcels remaining to be acquired for the project. Parcel #2 is owned by Mr. Jeff Schroeder and has an appraised value of $100. Previously the Council authorized an offer of $500 be made to Mr. Schroeder. Staff has followed through on this offer and has heard no response from Mr. Schroeder. Parcel #3 is owned by Mr. Thomas AueI. The property has been appraised at $4,400. We had previously extended an increased offer of $6,000 to Mr. Auel. Mr. Auel has counter-offered for the parcel at a price of $6,500. The Committee has recommended acceptance of Mr. Auel's offer. Parcel #7 is owned by Lowell Vasseur. The City has offered Mr. Vasseur $54,200 for the 45-acre parcel of which most is wetlands. Staff is awaiting response from Mr. Vasseur. Parcel #4 is the partial taking of the Volkman property. This parcel has been appraised and offered for sale at $40,248. At the time of the meeting, the
