E1/4 -NW'% -22-16-30 Over the past two -three years, the city has undertaken a major drainage project for controlling storm water from the SE side of Mt. Sequoyah, between Huntsville Road and 15ih Street. The project included drainage resolution across portions of properties owned by William H. Barker (his heirs at the current time) and Charles Combs. The initial project envisioned open ditch over the northern portion of the project and pipe along the southern portion. Anticipated cost of the initial project was approximately $180,000 to $200,000. While Mr. Combs was willing and did provide the city with easements to construct the system along his property, the heirs of William H. Barker were not satisfied with the plans to pull open ditch along a major portion of their property. They further claimed that the city's approval of a subdivision development to the east discharged additional waters on their property which caused irreparable damages in the southern part of that property. They claim that they were never notified, until after the fact, that a subdivision (Cedar Point S/D) was being considered adjacent to their property. They further claim that had they known of the development, they would have made their presence known to ensure adequate and proper handling of storm drainage. They blame the city for their property damage and have, on occasion, threatened to file suit. Their solution was to run pipe 36"- 48" all the way north to the outlet pipe of the subdivision. It is estimated that to do the project as they desired would cost an additional $200,000. This project made little or no progress over the next year as the city was unwilling to commit to the additional expenditure and the Barker heirs were unwilling to provide the city with easements. When Mr. Barker passed in 1999, the heirs decided to sell the property (18.88 acres). An offer and acceptance was signed with a third party for $151,000 or $8,000/ acre. When this transaction did not materialize to a final stage, the property came back on the market. As noted from the above discussion, the additional cost of the drainage project exceeded the cost of the land and it was prudent that the city consider the purchase thereof. Jim Fayetteville City Council Barker Property Purchase Agenda Memo Page 2 of 2 The city can purchase the almost 19 acres for Tess money than would be spent to install the piping along the east line of this property. By purchasing the property , the city can implement the open ditch system that the city engineers believe adequate for this drainage system now or in the future and at the same time eliminate the possibility of a law suit. If the property is sold to a third party, that party is going to expect the drainage situation to be resolved by the city dust as if the Barker heirs still own same. The city has offered $151,000 for the property and the owners have accepted this offer (see attached 0 & A contract). The city has had the property appraised by Mark Risk: $158,000 was his estimated market value. This represents almost 19 acres of reasonable to good land within the city limits, with water and sewer available, for a value of less than $10,000 per acre, which is a good deal for almost anything within the city limits. If the city were to acquire the land; (1) The city could eliminate the need to spend about $200,000 or %] the cost of the drainage project. (2) The drainage project itself could be forestalled to some future date when city departments could be in a position to do the work itself at a much lower cost to the city. (3) Once the project is completed, there would be a considerable savings in the cost of the project and the city would have 19 acres of pnme land for any and all kinds of purposes, i.e., 1. Future park land for soccer or ball fields. 2. Land for growing trees, 3. Lands for affordable residential development on the north side of said property (Habitat for Humanity). 4. Lands for future city divisions locations, or 5. The city could sell the land within a couple of years and recover a portion or all of the cost of the drainage project. (4). This property is zoned R-1 residential and has access to/from Huntsville Road. Parks & Recreation have considered the possible purchase of the American Legion baseball field off of Curtis Ave. This 5 acre tract, while being used for baseball purposes, could also provide an access route to the south part of the subject property. This other acquisition can be incorporated as required and/or finances are available. It is the recommendation of the staff that it makes sense for the city to take advantage and acquire the subject property at this time. • 1111 41111 STAFF REVIEW FORM X AGENDA REQUEST CONTRACT REVIEW GRANT REVIEW For the Fayetteville City Council meeting of January 16, 2001 FROM: Ed Connell�f Engineering Public Works Flame TStvtclnn I )epartment ACTION REQUIRED: The passage of a resolution approving the Offer and Acceptance Contract between the City of Fayetteville and Rosie Dorsey, Rowie Howard, William E.
