No. 5886 9.13, CITY OF SHAKOPEE Memorandum TO: Mayor & City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director SUBJECT: Valley View Road hnprovements, from the East Plat Line of Pheasant Run 6th Addition to the East Plat Line of Greenfield Addition, Project No. 2003-4 DATE: May 6, 2003 INTRODUCTION: Attached is Resolution No. 5886, a resolution ordering the improvement, plans and specifications for Valley View Road improvements, from the east plat line of Pheasant Run 6th Addition to the east plat line of Greenfield, Project No. 2003-4. BACKGROUND: On March 18, 2003, the City of Shakopee ordered the preparation of a feasibility report for the improvement of Valley View Road, from the east plat line of Pheasant Run 6th Addition to the east plat line of Greenfield by Resolution No. 5867. Valley View Road is a collector street on the City's Transportation Plan. This improvement project would be for the reconstruction of Valley View Road from a gravel road surface to a paved road surface meeting the Transportation Plan, with sidewalk, trail, extension of utilities and storm sewer system for drainage improvements. Currently, the Greenfield Addition is rapidly filling with housing starts and will be completed by the end of this year. The developer of Greenfield has indicated a willingness to pay his assessment by signing a petition and having the project completed. The property owners to the south are currently farming their property and would be available for Green Acre status in regard to the assessments. The benefits of completing this project at this time would be as follows: . A completed paved collector street adjacent to the housing being completed in Greenfield Addition. . Completion of the collector street system in this area of Shakopee, which would disperse the traffic in the area of Prairie Village, Pheasant Run and Greenfield Additions. The one issue for City Council to consider is the assessments on the south side of Valley View to the properties currently being used for agricultural purposes. It is assumed that these assessments would be placed in Green Acre status until the property redevelops in the future. The City of Shakopee would then have to front the costs of these assessments until the properties develop to a higher use. Per Gregg V ox land, the amount the City may need to finance the Green Acre assessments could be $10,500.00 annually. Also, included is an extension agreement with WSB & Associates, Inc. to perform the design engineering services, including easement acquisition coordination at a cost not-to- exceed $40,000.00. Right-of-way acquisition is proposed to be done by Evergreen Land Services Company with cost in addition to WSB' s proposal. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 5886, a resolution ordering the improvement and the preparation of plans and specifications for Valley View Road, from the east plat line of Pheasant Run 6th Addition to the east plat line of Greenfield. 2. Deny Resolution No. 5886. This action will halt the project until such time as the City Council reconsiders the resolution. 3. Table Resolution No. 5886, to allow time for staff to prepare additional information and/or revise the feasibility report, as directed by City Council. 4. Authorize staff to execute an extension agreement with WSB & Associates, Inc. for survey, preparation of easements, easement acquisition and design engineering services, as necessary for the design ofthe improvements. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Alternative No.1 and No.4, for Council to adopt Resolution No. 5886 ordering the improvement and plans and specifications for Valley View Road, from the east plat line of Pheasant Run 6th Addition to the east plat line of Greenfield, Project No. 2003-4. Also, for the City to execute an extension agreement with WSB & Associates, Inc. for engineering services to design the improvements, as necessary. If the City Council does not wish to pursue this project, then the appropriate action would be to move the approval of Resolution No. 5886 and vote against the motion. ACTION REQUESTED: 1. Offer Resolution No. 5886, A Resolution Ordering an Improvement and Preparation of Plans and Specifications for Valley View Road, from the East Plat Line of of Pheasant Run 6th Addition to the East Plat Line of Greenfield, Project No. 2003-4 and move its adoption. 2.

Associate Survey Group Manager WSB & Associates, Inc. 4150 Olson Memorial Highway Suite 300 Minneapolis, MN 55422 RE: 4th Avenue and Valley View Road Dear Mr. Ische: Thank you for the opportunity to provide the WSB and the City of Shakopee with an estimate for appraisal and acquisition services on the 4th Avenue and Valley View Road projects. Evergreen Land Services (ELS) is sufficiently staffed to begin assistance on this project upon approval by you. It is my understanding that the project will consist of appraisal and partial acquisition of land on 12 properties, for 4th Avenue and two parcels for Valley View Road. Our proposal will be based on this assumption. Scope of Work to be Performed: Evergreen Land Services will perform the following tasks necessary for the appraisal and acquisition of the 12 parcels: . Update Owners and Encumbrance Reports as needed . Create individual parcel files for each acquisition . Perform Minimum Damage Assessments (MDAs) on properties with an estimated acquisition cost of under $ 10,000 . Perform individual appraisals on properties with severance damage or with an estimated acquisition cost of over $ 10,000. The type of appraisal will be determined by the complexity of the acquisition. Le. narrative summary appraisal or restricted appraisal or uncomplicated appraisal. . Provide you with two copies of each appraisal report . Prepare appropriate conveyance documents . Prepare individual offer letters . Make offers and negotiate with each of the property owners . Provide you with updates on the acquisition process . Provide you with a list of unsigned owners and properties should it be necessary for the city to complete the acquisitions through the condemnation process. Our activities will comply with Minnesota Statute arid Uniform Act regulations and will include all steps required in the process and additional steps as may be helpful. Estimated Cost: Evergreen Land Services is prepared to perform the above mentioned acquisition items for a cost of and not to exceed $50,000 for 4th Avenue and a cost of and not to exceed $5,000 for Valley View Road (see breakdown below). This estimate includes all expenses such as mileage, copies, parking, recording fees. etc. Since ELS invoices only for time spent on the project based on the attached 2003 Rate Schedule, projects completed in less time than anticipated result in savings to the client. ELS invoices twice monthly on services rendered. Should condemnation be necessary, ELS can assist your legal counsel, as he or she deems necessary for an additional fee. Please note that this estimate does not include testimony in commissioner's hearings or court by the ELS appraiser. Condemnation testimony and preparation is at the rate of $100 per hour. Breakdown of Cost for 4th Avenue Four Uncomplicated Appraisals $1,500.00 = $6,000.00 Eight Limited or MDA's $1,000.00 = $8,000.00 Acquisition of 12 Parcels (each) $3.000.00 = $36.000.00 Total Cost $50,000.00 Breakdown of Cost Vallev View Road Two parcels MDA Appraisals and Acquisition (each) $2,500.00 = $5,000.00 Items Needed to Proceed: We would then need a copy of the construction plan or preliminary construction plan, size of the acquisitions, legal descriptions, taxpayers/property owners affected, your timetable for the project. maps, aerials, etc. Thank you for the opportunity to work with you on this project.

After receiving the appraisal of fair market value for each parcel, ELS staff will develop an acquisition file and prepare the Just Compensation Offer to be signed by the client. ELS then meets with each individual owner to present the offer and review the appraisal, conduct negotiations with each property owner, and be available for questions from each owner regarding the acquisition file. All owners receive an information booklet explaining their rights and the acquisition process. If the owner agrees on the acquisition price, both parties execute a purchase agreement and a closing is set up with the closing agent and the title company. If the acquisition involves easements, ELS initiates the signing of the documents and recording at the county recorder's office. If the owner does not agree with the offer, and after an appropriate amount of time in negotiations, the client's attorney may initiate eminent domain proceedings with requested assistance from ELS.
