DeBraal, Deputy County Attorney DATE: July 2, 2013 ATTORNEY SUBJECT: Approval of Agreement to Purchase and Sell Parcel 108 Estate of Earl Hobbs, Jr., 6420 491h Street, Vero Beach On March 5, 2013, the Board extended an unconditional offer to the Estate of Earl Hobbs, Jr. to purchase a 1.467 acre parcel of property to be used as right- of-way for the 66th Avenue improvement project. The offer also included a 0.0746 acre temporary construction easement. The Board offered to purchase the properties for $100,000. A resolution of necessity was approved at the same meeting. Mr. Hobbs passed away in January 2013 and part of his estate is comprised of a 33.159 acre parcel of property located at the northeast corner of 66th Avenue and 49th Street. The property is located outside the urban service boundary and is zoned A-1 Agricultural. The parcel contains a single family house together with a detached garage, detached carport and shed. None of the structures are affected by the take. The Hobbs Estate has accepted the purchase price offered for the property and easement. They have asked for payment of attorney's fees in the amount of $5,250 which is equal to 5.25% of the purchase price and $1,350 for engineering fees. Both fees are deemed reasonable by this office. In coordinating the approval of the purchase with the Estate, they have asked for the dirt excavated from the new drainage swale to be left on the remainder parcel and that the grade of the new driveways not exceed 5% slope. Public Works has approved these two minor requests. APPROVED FORS rl— g.C.0 MEETING - CONSE COUNTY ATTORNEY �.^,aia^ aivw Ga Approved Date adm(n. r Legal BudgetJ7*Dept. Risk Mgr. 29
