INFORMATION:
On January 26, 2009, by Roll Call No. 09-136, the
City Council of the City of Des Moines authorized acquisition of the necessary
right-of-way and easements for the Waveland Trail Project – Phase I.
This project starts just south of the small bridge
on the Walnut Creek Trail. This trail
will follow a northeasterly route along the east side of what is commonly known
as Golf/Cummins Creek along the publicly-owned greenway to Pleasant Street,
where it passes under the bridge, which is slated for replacement by the City
in 2009. The bridge will be designed
with the trail in mind and allow adequate room for the trail to pass beneath. On the north side of the bridge, the route
enters onto private property owned by Michael and Nadine Kastner,
continuing easterly on a route parallel to Interstate 235 (I-235) along the
north edge of the Kastner property to 56th
Street at the point where it intersects with I-235.
This project requires the purchase of a several
property interests from the property owned by Michael and Nadine Kastner, 5833 Pleasant Drive, Des Moines, Iowa. The property interests required include a
partial fee acquisition and a temporary easement for construction. An independent appraiser has determined the
value of these interests to be $30,000.
Relocation assistance will not be required for this project.
This project also required the purchase of excess
freeway right-of-way located on the west side of 56th Street south of
I-235 from the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT). IDOT is currently surveying the excess land
that is available to be conveyed for the project and will require the City to
pay the fair market value of the property, based on an independent appraisal. Upon completion of the appraisal, it will be
submitted to the City Council or City Manager, as applicable, for approval to
proceed with the purchase of his property.
