Consideration of Rescinding Eminent Domain Process for ISTEA Pathway Project.
Mayor Belsaas informed the Council that an agreement had been reached with Dahlheimer Distributin«
Company representatives for the City to obtain a temporary permit for construction of the pathway
along the CSAR 18 as part of the ISTEA Bridge Project. The Mayor noted that Dahlheimer had agreed
to provide the right -of -entry for construction purposes with the understanding that the City will obtain
an appraisal to determine the value of the property needed for the pathway construction. In addition.
the City will negotiate with Burlington Northern Railroad and Wright County Highway Department to
determine the best location for re-establishing Dahlheimer Distributing Company's second access to
future 7"' Street or CSAR 75. Dahlheimers also requested that stop signs be placed by their driveway
J along the pathway before the pathway is opened.
The Mayor also noted that the property owner on the south side of the freeway has also agreed to
provide the necessary pathway easement and therefore. proceeding with the eminent domain process
for the pathway project was not necessary at this time.
As a result, motion was made by Bruce Thielen and seconded by Roger Carlson to rescind the previous
Council action commencing eminent domain process for the pathway project at this time. Motion
carried unanimously.
The meeting was then adjourned.
