NOV 7 i989 <br />BOOK <br />R/W ACQUISITION ALONG 43RD AVE. & 13TH ST. SW (THE GROVE SUBDV.) <br />The Board reviewed the following memo from Public Works <br />Director Davis: <br />TO: <br />James Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. <br />Public Works Director <br />SUBJECT: Right -of -Way Acquisition along 43rd Avenue and <br />13th Street SW - The Grove Subdivision <br />Norman Hensick, Jr. <br />REFERENCE: Letter from Norman Hensick to Jim Davis dated <br />October 16, 1989 <br />DATE: October 25, 1989 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />Developer Norman Hensick has submitted a proposed subdivision <br />plat application for developing a 40± acre parcel located west of <br />43rd Avenue and north of 13th Street SW. The parcel has <br />approximately one-half mile frontage on both 43rd Avenue and 17th <br />Street SW. The County currently has a 30' wide right-of-way <br />along 13th Street SW and the developer is willing to dedicate the <br />additional right-of-way to bring both roads to the minimum local <br />road right-of-way width of 60', as required by County code. The <br />developer is requesting to sell to the County the remaining 40' <br />along 43rd. Avenue for $25,950 (1.04 acre @ $25,000 per acre) and <br />.,:20' along 13th Street SW for $14,825 (0.59 acre @ $25,000 per <br />acre) so that the ultimate Thoroughfare Plan right-of-way (100' <br />along 43rd Avenue and 80' along 13th Street SW) is protected. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />The County's 20 -Year Road Construction Plan includes right-of-way <br />acquisition of 13th Street SW, and the $14,825 funding can come <br />from the District 6 Traffic Impact Fee Fund. The County Office <br />of Management and Budget has determined that the $25,950 for 43rd <br />Avenue Right -of -Way can be funded from the Secondary Road Trust <br />Fund contingency (109-199-581-099.91). Budget amendments will be <br />required. The cost per acre of $25,000 appears reasonable based <br />on surrounding property values, and a recent purchase contract <br />that Mr. Hensick has been offered towards sale of the property. <br />Alternative No. 1 <br />Approve purchasing the additional right-of-way at this time. <br />Since both roads are collector or arterial roadways, <br />right-of-way protection is necessary. An appraisal has not <br />been obtained, however, $25,000/acre appears reasonable for <br />the subject area. <br />Alternative No. 2 <br />Deny purchasing the additional right-of-way. This would <br />permit the developer to include the proposed right-of-way <br />area within the lots he is platting. <br />RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING <br />Alternative No. 1 is recommended. Funding in the amount of <br />$25,950 to be from Secondary Road Trust Fund 109 for 43rd Avenue <br />and $14,825 from District 6 Road Impact Fees. <br />58 <br />
