ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY STAFF REPORT _____________________________________u___________________ ___u________________________________________________________________+_______.__________________________________________--------.-------------. Tippecanoe Retail Proiect - Inland Vallev Development A2encv BACKGROUND: Currently, the Agency's appraiser is appraising property in Phase II of the Tippecanoe Retail Project (the HUB Project). It is expected that there will be some cases where owners will be unwilling to agree to a value that is acceptable to the Agency. It is therefore appropriate to issue Operating Memorandum No. 2 with NDA to facilitate referrals of properties requiring eminent domain for Phase II of the HUB. CURRENT ISSUE: The attached Operating Memorandum No. 2 sets forth the terms on which the Agency may refer specific HUB Project parcels for acquisition by condemnation using eminent domain powers of the NDA. The Operating Memorandum sets forth each party's role in the condemnation process. NDA agrees to consider each transaction that is referred to it. The Agency agrees to pay all costs in connection with each action. ENVIRONMENT AL IMPACT: The environmental actions for this matter were previously completed by the Common Council at its May 21, 2001, meeting for State (CEQA) regulations. Compliance with federal (NEPA) regulations with respect to the use of federal funds for demolition of structures within the Harriman Street public street right-of-way has been demonstrated by a Finding of No Significant Issues, issued and circulated by the Agency. FISCAL IMPACT: A deposit of the appraised value of each property referred to the NDA will be required prior to the holding of a condemnation hearing by the NDA governing board. The developer is required, under terms of the Disposition and Development Agreement, to pay the agreed land price to the Agency at this time and the Agency in turn will forward the sum to the NDA. The Agency will then add any additional amount necessary to meet the appraised value. The Agency will also be responsible for legal and court costs in each case after the NDA adopts one or more resolutions of necessity. The Commission will have reviewed these cost amounts when issuing instructions to the Agency's real property negotiator. _____________..__________________..__.__________________....___________________n..___._________________________.___________________________________.._.____________________------------------..
