r1 554 MAY 51982 Commissioner Lyons pointed out that having the road opened through to U.S.1 at 8th Street not only eliminates the dangerous intersection at 6th Avenue and U.S.I, but takes into consideration the fact that we have the right to put a traffic light at the 8th Street intersection; so, to put the road some other place would simply create two problems instead of solving one. The Chairman called for the question. It was voted on and carried 4 to 1 with Commissioner Fletcher voting in opposition. On Motion by Commissioner Lyons, seconded by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized the Attorney to enter into a Purchase & Sale Agreement based upon terms tentatively reached with Mr. Hammond, which would include a condition that the sale is subject to -the County acquiring the other two right-of-way parcels, whether by condemnation or otherwise. Attorney Paull informed the Board that C. L. LaFevers, owner of Parcel B, who is represented by Attorney Charles Sullivan, is asking a firm figure of $95,000 for his parcel of right-of-way, plus loo attorney's fees. Mr. Paull did not consider this reasonable in light of the appraisal which was $91,450 for the whole 501. Mr. Paull continued that Parcel A, which is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Wright who are represented by Attorney Michael O'Haire, is located where Barrett's Steak House sits. They have made a counter offer of the same effective front footage value as Mr. La Fever would receive. This parcel being a deeper commercial parcel, has been appraised at a higher front footage value; so, in this case, the County would be paying an extra $7,600 above the appraised price. Mr. O'Haire is going back to his client with a request to come closer to our price, and Mr. O'Haire has agreed to take approximately half as much in attorney's fees. Resolution No. 82-49 is hereby made a part of the Minutes. 70
