See attachment Geometric Layout for the proposed design. Construction is scheduled for 2024.
Dakota County is the lead agency for CP 11-27 design and right of way acquisition. Acquisition of right of way from one private parcel (see Attachment: Acquisition Map) is recommended to move forward with CP 11-27. Appraisals have been completed by Patchin Messner Valuation Counselors. Appraisal data has been provided to the County Board in a separate confidential spreadsheet, as the appraisal is confidential, non-public data pursuant to Min. Stat. SS Sec. 13.44, subd. 3.
In the event that timely acquisition by direct negotiation of all required parcels does not appear possible, staff recommends that the County Board authorize the County Attorney's Office to initiate quick-take condemnation of the parcels. Efforts will be made to negotiate agreeable settlements before and after the start of the condemnation process.
