JUN 19 1985 BOOK 61 F,�GE 272 Director Davis informed the Board that he has been communicating with the owner of this park for about two years now. What Mr. Hardee is asking is that the County provide water and sewer to 24 lots, provide stub -outs, water mains, and pave roads, which involves considerably more than the true value of the property as reflected by the Property Appraiser. Commissioner Scurlock emphasized that first and foremost, there is no way the utility system can give free service or extend service at no cost. He felt we should proceed with condemnation. Administrator Wright suggested that we make the same offer to Mr. Hardee one more time before going to condemnation. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, to authorize staff to once again make the offer to Wellford Hardee, and if this effort is unsuccessful to start condemnation procedures. Commissioner Bird expressed some concern about comments in Mr. Hardee's letter relating to losing his income stream and having to move people. Director Davis informed the Board that there is a difference of opinion on this situation. The land the County is requesting does not encroach any of the lots. Mr. Hardee's site plan shows that the County has a 40' right-of-way when, in effect, we have a 30' right-of-way. In addition to the 401, Mr. Hardee's plan shows a 20' buffer to the north. That equals 60' of space before you get into his lots, and that is all we are requesting for right-of-way, not anything included in his lots. The homes are very close to the lot lines, but there will be about 20' from the lot lines to the edge of the road. Commissioner Bird believed that we have been more than cooperative, and although he does not feel that Mr. Hardee has been, he did not want to hand him a lawsuit on a silver platter. 24
