*4.D.3.


Shakopee City Council
December 19, 2017


FROM:Steve Lillehaug, Public Works Director/City Engineer
TO:Mayor & Council Members
Subject:
Grant highway easement and temporary construction easement to Scott County along County Highway 83.
Policy/Action Requested:
Authorize the execution of a highway easement and temporary construction easement on the tax forfeited propertied acquired by the City (rail spur property, parcel 27-0550100, Outlot A) located along County Highway 83, dedicated to Scott County.
Recommendation:
Authorize execution of the easements.
Discussion:

The City recently acquired two tax forfeited parcels, Outlots A and D, Valley Park First Addition, where a railway spur exists within the Valley Green Industrial Park area located east of County Highway (CH) 83 between Valley Industrial Boulevard North and South  (see attached location map and plat).

 

As part of the parcel transfer, the county required the reservation of permanent highway easement and temporary construction easement on the easterly most portion of Outlot A (see attached easement exhibits and county right-of-way Plat No. 96). The easements are needed as part of the upcoming CH 83 improvement project.

 

Neither city infrastructure nor railway tracks physically exist within the proposed easement area within this area of Outlot A. Dedication of the easements will have no negative impact to the city.

Budget Impact:

No budget impact. Scott County is waiving the easement recording fees.
