PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Ratify revisions to legal descriptions of two parcels for right of way acquisition for the County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 42 federal mill and overlay in Apple Valley, County Project (CP) 42-172 (Attachment: Project Location Map).
SUMMARY
To provide a safe and efficient transportation system Dakota County is proceeding with CP 42-172, the CSAH 42 federal mill and overlay, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements in the city of Apple Valley (Attachment: Location Map). Construction of CP 42-172 is scheduled for 2025.
Dakota County is the lead agency for CP 42-172 design and right of way acquisition. A total of 15 parcels were identified from which right of way will be acquired by the County. Fifteen acquisition appraisals (15 parcels) were presented to and approved by the County Board by Resolution No. 24-550 (November 12, 2024). The County Board also authorized the initiation of quick-take condemnation of any parcels that could not be timely acquired by Resolution No. 24-550 (November 12, 2024).
The legal descriptions for two parcels (Parcel 14 and Parcel 19) referenced in the authorization (Resolution No. 24-550) contained errors, preventing the recording of the necessary acquisition documents with the County recorder's office. Transportation staff worked with the County recorder's office to correct the legal descriptions for recording purposes, but the previous board authorization (Resolution No. 24-550) must be amended to reflect the updated legal descriptions for Parcel 14 (owned by Valley Way Homeowners Association, Inc.) and Parcel 19 (owned by Prairie Crossing Villas Homeowners Association).
