To: Craig Waldron, community From: steven D. Gatlin, Public Works Director Re: STATUS OF ROBERTS PROPERTY SETTLEMENT ..- Date: February 11, 1992 For over two years, the city has been dealing with Mr. Donald Roberts in an attempt to settle his claim against the city for purported damages due to loss of access to his property located along Terminal Road near the intersection of Long Lake Road lying westerly of the County Road B-2 bridge. The parcel in question is approximately a one acre, triangular piece of excess city right-of-way which lies between the new Long Lake Road and Mr. Roberts existing business parcel. This property was acquired in conjunction with the right-of-way acquisition for the B-2 bridge and the reconstruction of Terminal Road west of the bridge. Mr. Roberts alleged that the excess taking and the unusually large parcel of property restricted his access to his property. Accordingly, he asked for certain concessions from the city in exchange for his dropping all possible claims against the city for damages. The principle elements of the agreement are summarized as follows: . 1. The city will grant a non-exclusive 36' wide vehicle/ pedestrian access easement across the west portion of this parcel centered on the west Roberts property line. 2. The city will grant to Mr. Roberts a perpetual non-exclusive easement over the city property prohibiting construction of any building, berme, wall,' fence, sight obstruction, or stormwater pond to assure perpetual building site lines. 3. The city will grant Mr. Roberts and his tenants and heirs an easement for the placement of signs on the city property with such signs being limited to signs identifying or relating to the businesses located on the adjacent Roberts parcel. 4. The agreement shall run with the land and shall be assignable to all successors.
