TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Director... and Terry B. Thompson, P.E. Capital Projects Manager,. FROM: Donald G. Finney, SRA County Right -of -Way Agent SUBJECT: Purchase Authorization; Oslo Road/Old Dixie Right -of -Way Acquisition, Phillip and Patsy Helseth, Parcels #103 and #104 DATE: September 27, 1993 FILE: helseth2.agn DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The County plans to widen and signalize the intersection of Oslo Road and Old Dixie Highway. Additional right-of-way is needed from the Helseths northwest corner parcel. On September 15, 1993, the Helseths sold the northwest RS6 zoned corner parcel to Blake and Torres for $133,300. The Helseths reserved the right-of-way negotiations and proceeds for right-of- way parcels #103 and #104 from the sale. Subtracting the estimated value of improvements from the $133,300 sale price leaves a land value of approximately $2.30 per square foot. The County previously purchased right-of-way parcels on Oslo Road at a price range of $1.50 to $3.00 depending on location. The Helseths have agreed to sell the needed right-of-way to the County for $2.30 per square foot. No appreciable improvements are located within the proposed right-of-way. The Helseths have executed the attached contracts for right-of-way parcels #103 and #104 in the amount of $16,382.90 and $6,315.80, respectively. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff has discussed Eminent Domain proceedings with the County Attorney's office. The final cost of condemnation to acquire the parcels would exceed the contract purchase prices and Attorney's fee. Staff recommends the Board accept the $23,698.70 -for the two contracts. Staff also recommends the Board authorize payment of Attorney's fees of $500.for each parcel. Funding is available in Traffic Impact Fee District 6 - Account No. 101-156-541-067.43. 27 BOOK 90 `'AGE 696 OCT -51993 J
