Subject: Relocation of Utility Line
Northern States Power Company has a main feeder line located
along the property lines between Lyndale and Grand avenues, running
from 66th Street to 65th Street. Northern States Power Company has
previously agreed to remove that line and extinguish the easement at
no cost to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority. However, NSP
has recently requested that the Housing and Redevelopment Authority
pay for the cost of reconnecting or re-servicing the lines north of
65th Street from a different location. A letter from NSP making this
request is attached.
It is necessary to abandon the utility easement as soon as possible
so that the HRA can deliver clear title to Financial Properties Developer
Inc. by March 1, 1979. Therefore, the purpose of this letter is to
request HRA authorization to pay NSP $2,290.00 for purposes of re-
connecting the utility lines north of 65th Street.

`'"' Dear Dick:
In a letter dated November 28, 1978 from Mr. Bruce Palmborg
of the HRA of Richfield, and in subsequent discussions with
you, NSP ha.s been asked to remove the existing overhead lines
from the utility easement between Grand Ave. and Lyndale Ave.
extending from W. 66th Str. to W. 65th Str.
}~ This letter will serve as our intent to remove the above
!;F.a.
mentioned lines, at no charge to the City of Richfield, and
to vacate-the easement, thereby relinquishing any further
interest in said easement.
However, the existing overhead lines not only serve the cust-
omers~presently being relocated, but in fact are the source
of service for our customers located North of W. 65th Str. be-
tween Pleasant Ave. and Lyndale Ave.
By relinquishing our rights within the above mentioned ease-
ment, NSP must provide another source of power for those cust-
omers. The cost to provide that other source is $2,290.00.
Because the request to vacate is being made by the City of
Richfield, and because it is unfair that the cost should be
born by our other customers,it is felt that the cost to provide
that other source should be accepted by the city. We there-
fore request that contracts be executed between the city and
NSP to cover said cost. Once the contracts have been executed,
NSP will begain the work to remove the lines in question as
expeditiously as possible.
I hope this letter explains NSP's position on this matter.
Please contact me if any questions develop.
Sincerely yours,
Stuart Fraser
Staff Assistant

Dear Commissioners:
Subject: Purchase of Property at 7104 2nd Avenue
New Home Program
On December 26, 1978 the HRA authorized the staff to nego-
tiate for purchase of the property located at 7104 2nd Avenue. The
HRA also established just compensation for this property ir.~. the
amount of $22,$00. The property at 7104 2nd Avenue will be acquired
and resold by the HRA through the New Home Program.
The current property owner, Ms. Elizabeth Kruger, has
agreed to sell the property for $23,500. As part of this agreement,
Ms. Kruger will be responsible for paying the unpaid special assess-
ments and delinquent water bills in the amount of $638.43. All real
estate taxes for 1978 have previously been paid.
An appriasal by O. J. Janski in November, 1978 established
a fair market value of $26,000 for this property. An appraisal con-
ducted in December by Mr. Donald Hennessy established the value of
$22,800 which was set by the HRA as just compensation. Although the
agreement negotiated with Ms. Kruger provides for the purchase of
the property for $700 more than the just compensation,. the purchase
price of $23,500 falls well within the range of market values estab-
lished by the two appraisals which were done. Therefore, it is
recommended that the HRA adopt the attached resolution, authorizing
purchase of the property at 7104 2nd Avenue in the amount of $23,500
under the New Home Program.
Respectfully submitted,
