across the street from his other building in the front, and the Clock Restaurant has dug up a whole lot of dirt and put it on the border'of his line and then paved it. This creates a lake every time it rains, and it all drains onto his property. This has stopped him from renting that property three times already. Mr. Faber stressed that there is a lot of traffic coming through 14th Street even though the county may not be aware of it. Administrator Balczun believed that the Board will recall that we have discussed this matter in some detail, particularly with respect to the cost of building 14th Street to the standard county R/W width, as set out in the following memo: ----------------------------------------------------------------- TO: Charles A. Balczun County Administrator THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E. Public Works Director FROM: Donald G. Finney, SRA Right -of -Way Acquisition Agent SUBJECT: 14th Street Right -of -Way Acquisition (U.S. 1 to 6th Avenue) LaCava, Southgate MHP, Clock Leasehold DATE: June 29, 1988 ------------------ ------ In response to Mr. Ed Farber's June 28, 1988 letter to Chairman Scurlock, the Public Works' staff is pursuing r/w acquisition along 14th Street r/w to U.S. 1. There are 3 parcels of right-of-way to be -acquired as shown on the attached map. 1) Parcel #1 is owned by Southgate Mobile Home_ Park and staff is presently negotiating purchase of Southgate r/w 19' outside fence as appraised $8,977.00; 2) Parcel #2 & #3 is owned by Mrs. Grace LaCava. Staff is pursuing purchase of two LaCava r/w parcels at less than appraised value $30,000 (appraised $113,359.00); 3) Also, a triangular corner road easement needs to be acquired at the corner of the Clock Restaurant parcel. The owner of Faber Press is primarily concerned with access to U.S. 1. Secondly, money has been escrowed by Faber Press for paving of the road. i The 35' private road owned by Mrs. LaCava lying between. the Clock Restaurant and the Home & Patio is paved. The private property from the rear line of the Clock to the LaCava residence property is in use and unpaved. There is a county utility easement on the LaCava property and thence the waterline is on the county 25' right-of-way. Mrs. LaCava is willing to sell the necessary property to the County. If Southgate cooperates and is willing to sell 191, we can acquire a 44' r/w which is below minimum standards. If condemnation is required to acquire the Southgate property, our total cost would exceed $500,000 which the Board rejected as an alternative at this time. The Board's direction is very clear to work toward a settlement.
