Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Authorize Payment for Easement on
Railroad Signals for Sommerville Street and
Spencer Street
DATE: June 21,2005
INTRODUCTION:
Attached to this memo is an easement for Lot 1, Block 25, City of Shakopee in
conjunction with the Railroad Warning Signals. Also, staff received a verbal acceptance
from the property owner in regard to the payment for the easement, which is $1,000.00.
The purpose of this agenda item is for Council to authorize payment for this easement.
BACKGROUND:
In association with the 2005 Reconstruction Project, and previous agreement with
Mn/DOT and Union Pacific Railroad, an easement is needed for the control cabinet for
the warning signals at railroad crossings on Sommerville Street and Spencer Street.
This offer has been accepted verbally by the property owner. Staff recommends Council
authorization of payment to the property owner of Lot 1, Block 25, City of Shakopee in
the amount of $1,0000.00. Additional conditions include the relocation of easement with
the event the property owner desires to expand the building in the easement area. The
property owner will grant a new easement area with the City responsible to relocate the
control cabinet. In order to obtain an easement on the north side of the tracks, per
Council direction, staff believes this condition is acceptable.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve a motion to authorize payment of $1,000.00 to Bart Partners LLP, the
owner of Lot 1, Block 25, City of Shakopee for an easement associated with the
2005 Railroad Signal Project and agreement with Mn/DOT.
2. Deny the easement acquisition.
