Properly Acquisition
Report Prepazed February 22, 2008
Public Hearing May 21, 2008
PROJECT
The City of Saint Paul proposes to purchase a portion of commercial property at 1388 Maryland Avenue in
order to re-align Rose Avenue. This would create a four leg intersecrion with Rose Avenue, Clarence Street
and the new Cub Foods entrance/exit.
INTTIATING ACTION
This project is initiated by the Department of Public Works. Currently, Rose Avenue intersects with
Prosperity Avenue which subsequently intersects with Clarence Street at a 34 degree angle. The increase in
traffic from the proposed Cub Foods driveway would add to an already confusing intersection. The proposal
is to re-align Rose Avenue to line up with the Cub Foods driveway and re-align Prosperity to intersect with
Rose creating two standard intersections instead of one skewed intersection. (see attached map) The project
will require partial acquisition ofthe property at 1388 Maryland Avenue.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
This properly acquisition would include about 700 sq, ft. of land adjacent to McDonalds at 1388 Maryland.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The Pina1 Order does not authorize construction of the re-aligned intersection, but authorizes City staff to
proceed with acquisition of the necessary right-of-way. However, when the project is built, it will provide
increased safety for both pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
ALTERNATIVES
The intersecfion cannot be re-designed without the acquisition of additional right of way. To do nothing
would create a confusing and potenfially dangerous situataon.
POSITIVE BENEFITS
The City can acquire property that is mosfly vacant, thereby avoiding the need to relocate an existing
business, and potentially saving acquisidon costs.
ADVERSE EFFECTS
The purchase of this site wi11 require some trees and landscaping to be removed.
��u��
TIMESCHEDULE
The acquisition process will begin in early Mazch, 2008, and should be completed within 8-12 months.
Project planning, desigp and constniction is anficipated for some time in 2008.
COSTS AND FUNDING
Costs — Public Works/Real Estate estimates the cost of acquiring this portion of properry at 1388 Maryland
Avenue at $30,000. TYris amount includes purchase of the land, appraisal and closing costs.
Fundin� — The project will be funded by Minnesota State Aid funds.
