Banwart, Community Development Director <br /> <br />#6 <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Since the UNWFED POWER ASSOCIATION (UPA) will be planing the parcel of land immediately <br />North of the Ramsey Municipal Center (City Hall) as a minor subdivision to include a portion for a <br />substation; it is an opportune time for the City to consider acquisition of this parcel for City <br />purposes. CiD' purposes may include: <br /> <br />Road Access to 153rd Avenue Northwest to provide better in,ess <br />and egress access 153rd Avenue Northwest will be a major East- <br />West road connection across the City for both the Police and Fire <br />Departments <br /> <br />Long-term expansion needs of the Municipal Center (CiD, Hall) ~~ <br />Relocation of Public Works facilities (garages) <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The UPA in collaboration with the property owner will be initiating the platting process for the <br />property immediately No,nh and adjacent to the Municipal ActixSD' Center (City Hall). It would be <br />timely to initiate acquisition of certain portions or all of this parcel prior to final platting of said <br />effort. Such acquisition should minimize costs for both the subdivider and the CID,. <br /> <br />Recommendations: <br /> <br />Staff recommends that City staff be directed to commence negotiations for land acquisition with <br />property owner(s) of lands irm'nediately North and abutting the Municipal Activity Center (City <br />Hall). The amount of land acquisition should be sufficient to address road access to 153rd Ave. <br />N.W. In addition, there should be consideration of using a portion of these lands, if not all, for <br />the future site of the Public Works Department and facilities. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to: Direct staff to negotiate land acquisition c)~lands immediately North and abutting the <br />Municipal Activity Center (Ci~, Hall). . //,/ <br /> / <br /> <br />Review Chec -klist: <br /> <br />City Administrator X <br />CiD, Attorney X <br />CiD' Engineer .
