Council approves $53,500 purchase for Parcel 18 to advance roundabout work
Summary
Council passed ordinance 95-2026 to acquire Parcel 18 (0.039 acres) near Erie and Monroe for $53,500, allowing grading and temporary construction easement work needed for the roundabout; staff noted higher valuation due to surface features and grading sensitivity.
Staff described Parcel 18 near the Erie/Monroe intersection as requiring a larger temporary construction easement and grading work because the house sits higher than the roadway. The property owner and staff negotiated a combined price of $53,500 for the permanent right-of-way and temporary construction easement for 0.039 acres.
A staff presenter explained that valuation varies by surface features and site sensitivity and that "this 1 had a little bit more sensitivity to it, so that's the reason for the increased cost." Council moved to adopt ordinance 95-2026 as an emergency measure to accept the easement and appropriate $53,500.
