DISCUSSION:

The land rights in the subject property are needed for new travel lanes, intersection improvements, storm drainage improvements, sidewalks, and streetlights as necessary. An independent appraisal established fair market value for the various property interests in the total amount of $390,233.00.

Negotiations were unsuccessful due to the inability to reach a mutually agreed upon value for the property interests being acquired by the City. Upon approval, a Special Commissioners' hearing will be brought to acquire the various property interests on the property.
