16. Acquisition of Lot for Right of Way PurposesMEMO
TO: Al Thelen, Interim City Manag
FROM: Robert Babb, City Engineer
RE: Purchase of Subdivision Lot For oad Extension
DATE: April 3, 1996
We are requesting permission from the City Council to purchase an existing subdivision lot
to permanently secure a road right-of-way West of the South Meadows Subdivision. This
subdivision was approved several years ago and the extension of Bluestone Drive was
terminated at South Meadows Drive.
It is evident this road will have to be extended westerly to accommodate future water line,
sewer line, and access requirements. An $8000 selling price is being asked as it is a building
lot. The developer of this area has agreed to buy it. He would then sell it to the City for his
purchase price. After extensive discussion with the City Attorney, it was decided this would
be the proper way to handle this. This is similar to the recent land that the City had to restore
to Mr. Hall at the end of Liberty Street because the City had acquired it improperly.
We are requesting authorization from the Council to purchase this land out of unfunded
line item 910 Purchase of Land in the Water & Sewer Departments with a $4,000
expenditure coming from Water & Sewer reserve funds.
