Satellite Fire Station Land Purchase, Project No. 03-09-13:
Approve Expenditure of Funds
REQUESTED ACTION
Approve expenditure of funds for purchase of land for future satellite fire station
from MnDOT.
DISCUSSION
The City will be in need of a satellite fire station when land develops south of
Lyman Boulevard and for calls on TH 212. The fire station will be about 10,000
square feet and will house several vehicles. Staff has looked for a home for the
future satellite station over the past several years and recommends the station be
constructed south of Lake Susan Drive on Lyman Boulevard. In conjunction with
the TH 212 project sewer and water services were extended to this site. Also, a
turnlane and a curb cut were included in the TH 212 design.
Currently, this property is owned by MnDOT but is considered a remnant piece
because it is not needed for the future operations of TH 212. The City has
discussed with MnDOT the purchase of the 2.4 acre parcel over the past year.
The purchase of the property is for $114,700.24 or $47,792 per acre. A quick
claim deed will be drafted after payment of the land is made.
Funding for the purchase of the land is proposed by an inter-loan fund transfer to
be paid for by future bond proceeds.
RECOMMENDA TIONS
Staff recommends expenditure of funds, in the amount of $114,700.24, for the
purchase of a 2.4 acre piece of land from MnDOT. Staff recommends this
purchase be made contingent on the City attorney's final title review and
approval.
