Purchase Agreement, Lakeview Hills Property (Highway 212 Corridor)
Loan Agreement
BACKGROUND
In December, 1995, the City Council passed a resolution authorizing staff to submit applications
to the Metropolitan Council for Right-of-Way Acquisition Loan Fund (RALF) moneys to
purchase the Lakeview Hills property within the Highway 212 corridor.
The Metropolitan Council has established a revolving loan fund to assist local governments in
purchasing right-of-ways within the state trunk highway system in advance of the actual
construction of these highways. These loans bear no interest and are repaid at the time that the
state highway department purchases the property from the local government. The repurchase
price is the same price established at the time of the purchase of the property by the local
government.
DISCUSSION
The property is located on the south side of Rice Marsh Lake on the eastern city limits of
Chanhassen. The total area to be acquired consists of approximately 26.5 acres of which about
16.5 acres are developable and 10 acres are marsh land and lake. The property includes the
actual right-of-way for Highway 212 (consisting of5.15 acres) and property north of the highway
that will be severed by the highway and thus lose its economic value (consisting of
approximately 11 acres of developable land and 10 acres of wetland and lake). This additional
property is designated as parks and open space in the City's 2000 Land Use Plan.
In 1996, the City purchased the property immediately to the west of this property through the
RALF program. The purchase price for that property was $400,000. The parcel consisted of
approximately 6.2 acres of right-of-way, 9 acres of severed upland, and 14 acres of wetland and

lake. The purchase price represented approximately $25,000 per acre for upland and $1,500 per
acre for wetland. This property was zoned R12, High Density Residential, the same as the
Lakeview Hills property.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT), through an agreement with the city, has
taken the lead in establishing a purchase price for the property. MNDOT had originally certified
an appraisal of the property based on a value of $1,150,000.00. MNDOT has negotiated a
purchase price for the property that includes acquisition of 16.5 acres of upland ($1,316,000), 10
acres of wetland ($100,000), damages for the abandonment of the well and connection to the city
water ($290,000), and damages to the remnant property south of the highway corridor and north
of the apartments ($179,000). MNDOT has approved an administrative settlement and
negotiated a purchase price of $1 ,885,000.00.
Staff is concerned that the purchase price for this property will set a precedence for land prices in
the city, if, in the future, the city needs to acquire property that is guided for high density
residential. The city recently acquired property for the Lyman Boulevard upgrade at
approximately $30,000 per acre. This property was guided mixed use: high density residential
and commercial. In 1996, the city acquired the Rottlund property west of the Lakeview Hills
parcel for approximately $25,000 per acre. The proposed purchase amount for this property is
$80,000 per acre.
One of the buyer contingencies within the purchase agreement is that the Metropolitan Council
approve an unconditional commitment acceptable to the city to finance the,purchase of this
property. Staff is requesting approval of the loan request to the Metropolitan Council and
authorization to execute the agreement when approved by the Metropolitan Council. The
estimated loan amount is $1,894,000.00 including the purchase price of$I,885,000.00 and
estimated administrative costs of $9,000.00 (legal fees, title search, closing costs, prorated share
of taxes, environmental audit and insurance).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the following motion:
"The City Council authorizes the Mayor and City Manager to execute the purchase agreement
with Lakeview Hills for purchase of property within the Highway 212 corridor and approve the
loan request to the Metropolitan Council and authorize a Phase I Environmental Audit."

REVIEW COMMENTS: Subject site is a rectangular shaped piece of vacant land
which extends south from Rice Marsh Lake with a width of 660 feet and a
length of 1,939 feet containing 30.1 acres. The north 10 acres are in the
lake with an elevation at that point of about 874 feet with the topography
rising to the south to 925 feet which is the approximate center of 9.5 acres
of upland. The terrain then slopes downward to a general elevation of 908
feet on the southern half of the property. The north half is heavily wooded
with hard and soft wood trees and the south half is open with scattered trees
and a ground cover of bushes and grass. Rice Marsh Lake is an environmental
lake not a recreational lake. The only improvement is a 32 foot by 16 foot
concrete block building which houses two 470 foot deep wells and two pumps.
It serves the Lakeview Hills Apartment building which is adjacent to the
;outh of the subject and has the same owners. The apartment building is not
)art of this parcel and was not appraised. City sewer and water are available
:0 the south from Lake Riley Boulevard through the apartment complex.
rhe zoning is R 12, Residential High Density which permits townhouses, two-
:amily dwellings and multi-family. The Comprehensive Guide Plan also
;pecifies high density residential development.
~he appraisers have submitted dissimilar values with Mr. Johnson at
;1,650,000 and Mr. Marks at $1,150,000. The principle reasqn is the highest
md best use with Mr. Marks values based on a multi-housing use which
:omplies with the zoning and Guide Plan. In addition Robert Generous Senior
)lanner at the City of Chanhassen stated it is unlikely the planning
:omrnission or city council would approve a change in zoning to single family
~esidential. A. compelling reason is the city of Chanhassen made a commitment
:0 participate in affordable housing under the Livable Communities Act
{herein a municipality would be eligible to receive grants and loans from the
1etro Livable Communities Fund or polluted site clean-up funds from the
1innesota Department of Trade and Economic Development. Chanhassen has a
.imited amount of high density zoned land for this commitment and hundreds of
icres designated for single family residential so a decrease in supply is
lighly unlikely. The owners also approached the City in 1989 and requested
ipproval on a concept plan for multi-family units on the subject but were
:urned down because of the Th 212 Project.
1r. Johnson did a subdivision analysis with information supplied by RLK
~ssociates -architects and planners who did a Single Family Subdivision Land
Jse Analysis report. This was supplied to the owner's appraiser Pete LaSalle
ind Mr. Johnson and Mr. Marks. The report also cited the Shoreland Management
)verlay zoning on the subj ect property as a reason for not using a high
iensity use. This zoning has constraints of one sort or another on both high
md low density but does not prohibit either. For the reasons above Mr.
~ark's considered the report but did not use it. Mr. Johnson used the RLK
:eport with a zoning change from High Density Residential to Single Family
~esidential with 6 lakeshore lots at $162,000, 13 golf view lots at $120,000
ind 17 interior lots at $90,000 and 8 south lots at $72,000. The gross sales
Less expenses were discounted over 33 months at 11 % for total damages of
?1,650,000. It should be noted he did not allocate any damages for the well
10use in the acquisition as Mr. Mark's did.
~r. Mark's value on high density land was based on 8 units per acre x 20
lsable acres =160 units x $8,100 per unit = $1,296,000 less cost to extend
ltilities to the site of $71,400 = $1,225,000. The 10 acres of wetland was
valued at $4,000 per acre for a total of $40,000 for a total land value of
?1,305,000 plus the cost of the well house and pumps depreciated value per
~arshall Swift of $90,000 = $1,355,000 total before value. The after value
~as based on 8 units per acre x 4.3 acres = 34 remaining units at $8,100 per
lnit = $275,000 less cost to extend utilities to the site of $71,400
=$205,000 R. Mr. Johnson was of the opinion that the 4.3 acre remainder
should be purchased because it was an uneconomic remainder while Mr. Mark's
Jpinion was it had value as a site or assembled to the adjacent southerly 10
lcres that has the apartment unit on it. This remainder accounts for
ldditional differences between the appraisers.
In my opinion Mr. Mark's estimated value is reasonable and recommended fc~
:ertification.

Revision to Administrative Settlement
Dear Mr. Generous:
This letter provides clarification to the January 24, 1997 correspondence I addressed to you concerning
the administrative settlement reached on the above captioned parcel. Based on your review of the terms
of that agreement, there were flaws in the composition of the proposal. After further discussion of the
facts disclosed at the December 19, 1996 meeting held with Steve Liefschultz and Len Levine with
those individuals on February 19th, I will reconstruct the package and recommend the earlier agreed
upon compensation of$I,885,000.
At the December 19th meeting, we discussed two potential development scenarios, establishing land
value at either $6,000 per unit at a density of 12 units per acre or $5,000 per unit at a density of 16 units
per acre. Mr. Liefschultz reminded me of the written commitment made by Mark O. Senn of the City of
Chanhassen allowing 16 units per acre, so we started with the assumption of $80,000 per acre of
developable property. At 16.45 acres ofland being acquired, the base line figure is $1,316,000. To this
base, we added the $100,000 fur the ten acres of wetland acquired, plus $290,000 for the water line
related damages (including the sealing of the well, construction of the new water line and the various
connection charges). The final component of the transaction deals with the severance sustained by the
4.3 acre remnant being retained by the owner. At $80,000 per acre, this tract had an indicated before
value of$344,000. The appraisers had opinions of after value ranging from $150,000 to $205,000,
resulting in severance damages of $139,000 to $194,000. To resolve the issue, I offered to split the
difference, which resulted in an offer of$166,500. Using that figure, the gross settlement would have
been $1,872,500.
As I indicated in my January 24th letter, Mr. Liefschultz was unwilling to accept that offer, pointing to
numbers in excess of$2 million. Due to the deteriorating health of some of the partners in the
corporation as well as the desire to avoid litigation if possible, we did reach a settlement of
- - ~-=u2i -::ccC""...I :it\/ 2lrrlO!() ,::-P"
Mr. Robert Generous
February 21, 1997
Page two
$1,885,000 on January 16, 1997. There is no doubt that the increase of$12,500 beyond the offer
would be easily absorbed in court costs as well as interest payments and the potential for an award in
excess of the agreed upon figure. In conclusion, I stand behind the tenns of the original settlement and
hope that this letter corrects the mathematical and conceptual errors contained in the original
recommendation.
Sincerely,

RALF Acquisition
Administrative Settlement
Dear Mr. Generous:
This letter is in follow-up to our recent telephone conversation concerning the proposed RALF
acquisition of the above cited parcel for the future construction of Trunk Highway 212 through
Chanhassen. As you recall, three appraisals were prepared to estimate the fair market value of the
proposed taking, Richard Marks (certified) at $1.15 million, Terrence Johnson at $1.65 million and Pete
LaSalle at $2.115 million. In addition to these findings, the owners presented additional information
which resulted in a damage figure of $2,617,800. Due to the extreme variation of valuation
methodologies employed in this taking, I met with Steven Liefschultz and his representative, Len
Levine, on several occasions, in an effort to reach a solution which would avoid the initiation of an
eminent domain action. This was a desired outcome due to the advanced age and declining health of
two of the partners in the investment company. I have continued this communication subsequent to my
assignment to the Office of Traffic Engineering in late December.
Two of the key issues which surfaced during negotiations were the development density which the City
would allow on the subject, as well as the application of comparable sales which were not directly related
to the proposed use of the property. There was considerable debate over whether the City would allow
249 or 332 units to be built on the subject, with the agreement made that 249 was the most likely
alternative. After considerable discussion, we agreed that a land value of $6,000 per building unit would
best reflect the current market conditions (a similar development in Woodbury has been constructed at this
price). Once this core issue was resolved, it was necessary to address the land value of the wetlands being
acquired as well as the severance damage attributable to the remnant being retained by Lakeview Hills
Investment. Based on recent Mn/DOT experience, I proposed a value of $100,000 for the wetland area
being acquired, with $150,000 in damages sustained by the remnant. Based on these assumptions, I
proposed a settlement of $1,744,000 to consummate the transaction. Mr. Liefschultz was unwilling to
accept that figure, citing
Mr. Robert Generous
January 24, 1997
Page two
other damages and costs outlined in his original statement. He countered with a number slightly in excess
of$2 million and after recognition of the mutual desire to close the transaction immediately, an agreed
upon figure of$I,885,000 was reached on January 16, 1997.
In view of the documentation which Mr. Liefschultz furnished during the series of meetings, I felt
comfortable with the $1.744 million figure established above. However, it is my opinion that the
compromise settlement of$I,885,000 is in the vicinity ofa probable commission award. Acceptance of
this figure by the City negates the need for the filing of an eminent domain action, compensation of fees
and professional expenses as well as potential interest costs and the like. I recommend to the City of
Chanhassen that the transaction be consummated at the recommended total compensation of$I,885,OOO.
