ITEM 6.4.
TO:
FROM:
MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
PHIL HALS, STREET/PARK SUP~
DATE: APRIL 28, 1993
SUBJECT: RIGHT OF WAY EXCHANGE 221ST AVENUE
In 1992, I was contacted by Richard Bury, owner of a gravel pit
on 221st Avenue. Mr. Bury's property lies on the north and
south side of 221st Avenue, from Quinn Street east for 1/4
mile. Mr. Bury is planning to install a permanent truck scale
for his operation and it would be to his advantage if the City
would relocate 221st Avenue north of its present location and
eliminate four curves and some very limited sight distances.
Mr. Bury will exchange the property for the new road alignment
at no cost to the City, and if the City will do the
construction in 1993, Mr. Bury has offered to furnish the Class
5 road base at no charge.
.
I believe that this is a win-win situation that allows the City
to correct a major right-of-way issue on an MSA route, take
advantage of an offer for free material, and accommodate a
property owner. I strongly recommend that the Council
authorize Maier Stewart to prepare the right-of-way documents
and authorize me to solicit quotes for contractors to build the
road grade.

Dear Phil,
As per our conversation at our meeting on April 1, 1993, I
am happy to confirm our offer of furnishing the gravel needed for
the gravel surface on the alignment change for 221st Avenue N.W.
.
Once these plans have been decided on, it is quite important
to us, in our planning, that they proceed as soon as possible.
Therefore, it is with this offer that we hope to encourage the
City of Elk River to accomplish the realignment of 221st Avenue
during the 1993 construction season.
On behalf of myself as o'vner, and Midwest Asphalt as pit
lessee, we hereby offer to furnish the gravel necessary (up to
1,000 tons) for the base surfacing on the realignment construction
of 221st Avenue N.W. provided this work is accomplished prior to
April 1, 1994.
Gravel Base meeting MHD spec Class 5 will be furnished cost
free to Elk River F.O.B. your or your Contractor's trucks at our
stockpiles adjacent to the roadway construction, Mon. - Fri.
between the working hours of h:30 - 4:30 P.M.
Should you have any questions regarding this offer, please feel
free to contact me at 943-2898, or Mr. Blair Bury at Midwest Asphalt
Corp., 937-8033.
Looking forward to this project proceeding, I remain,
.
