REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> DATE: November 10, 2005 <br /> ITEM NO: � � <br /> , <br /> Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: <br /> � Name Ronald J. Moorse Ciry Administrator's Report <br /> Tit�e City Administrator , � <br /> � � <br /> Item Description : Purchase of the Proper � at 1180 Lyman Avenue from Mn/DOT <br /> The property at 1180 Lyman Avenue was purchased by Mi�/DOT as right-of-way for the <br /> Highway 12 Project. A significant portion of the property, including septic sites, was used <br /> as right-of-way for the Highway 12 Project. The remainder is naw excess right-of-way that <br /> Mi�/DOT has made available for purchase by the City at a cost of$10,000. Attached is a <br /> map showing the property at 1180 Lyman Avenue, and its relationship to adjacent properties . <br /> and the private roadway serving those proper�iies. � <br /> The City was initially interested in the property as a way to assist the residents at 1190 <br /> Lyman in addressing a septic site issue. Although a portion of this property may be a part oi' <br /> an ultimate septic solution for 1190 Lyman, the 1180 Lyman property is not suitable for a <br /> mound septic site. . <br /> However, the property is of significant value to the City in two other ways. The property <br /> . would provide the City with the necessary land to consiruct a cul de sac for the existing <br /> private road that serves seven homes on Lyman Avenue. There is currently no way to turn <br /> around on Lyman Avenue without using a private driveway. Also, it would be very difficult <br /> for emergency vehicles, particularly fire vehicles, to maneuver on the.�,�cisting private road. <br /> Assuming the use of a portion of the propei-ty for a cul de sac, there would be approximately <br /> two-thirds of an acre remaining. If this portion of the property is not used as a septic <br /> solution for 1190 Lyman, it would be of value to an acljacent property as an expansion of <br /> their existing lot. <br /> COUI�ICIL AC'TION ItEQUES'I'ED <br /> Motion to authorize the acquisition of the property at 1180 Lyman Avenue from Mi�/DOT at <br /> a cost of�10,000, and to approve a bud;et adjustmeni in the General Fund to reflect the <br /> eapenditure. <br />
