Memo <br />September 6, 1996 <br />Page 2 <br />4. <br />The status of easement acquisition is as follow s: <br />A. Segment south of the railroad tracks (requires easements from four property owners). <br />(1) Will property. The City had reached a verbal agreement with the Wills and <br />were moving ahead to prepare easement documents when the Wills backed <br />out of the agreement and indicated a substantially higher cost for the <br />easement. Staff has reopened discussions with Mr. Will to reach a new <br />agreement. <br />(2) Brandenburg property. The City has reached an agreement with the <br />Brandenburgs and have a letter of agreement from the Brandenburgs. <br />Hile property. Staff has not been able to reach an agreement with the Hiles. <br />The process has been initiated for a quick take condemnation of the Hile <br />property. <br />(4) Bruening property. The City has a reached a verbal agreement with the <br />Bruenings regarding the easement. The agreement will be placed in writing <br />as soon as possible. <br />B.Segment north of the railroad tracks. <br />(1) VanDale property. This requires only a temporary easement. We have <br />reached a verbal agreement with the projjerty owner and will reduce the <br />agreement to writing as soon as possible. <br />Potential Construction Plan. <br />Due to easement delays, it may be best to wait until the spring of 1997 to construct the trail <br />segment south of the railroad tracks, and to construct the segment north of the railroad tracks <br />to Kelley Parkway in 1996. The segment from Kelley Parkway to the school property could <br />also be constructed in 1996. Staff will contact the low bid contractor to determine if there <br />is a willingness to extend the trail north of Kelley Parkway at the same unit prices as the <br />original bid. <br />4i
