RE: Approve Land Purchase at 1400 South Westhaven Drive for the Westhaven Circle Area
Stormwater Detention Basin
BACKGROUND
On February 22, 2010, the Common Council approved a jurisdictional offer to purchase property adjacent
to the Westhaven Golf Course Club House. The City has officially mapped the undeveloped land that is
located immediately south of the Club House for construction of a stormwater detention basin.
ANALYSIS
Our right -of -way consultant has had additional discussions with the property owner. Also, it has been
determined that 4.52 acres (from a total parcel area of approximately 8.3 acres) is required for the
detention pond facility. The Westhaven Golf Club has agreed to sell their property for $621,000. The
following information pertains to this property acquisition:
Initial Offer Owner Request Jurisdictional Offer Agreed Upon Price
$548,900 $835,950 $610,000 $621,000
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this acquisition is included in the "Storm Sewer Section" of the 2010 Capital Improvement
Program.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend approval of the land purchase.
Respectfully Submitted,
David C. Patek
Director of Public Works
