e 4 <br /> 11 . G . 74TH AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS - RIGHT- OF - WAY <br /> ACQUISITION FROM RICHARD H AND JAN JONES <br /> TURNER <br /> The Board reviewed a Memorandum of July 11 , 2001 : <br /> TO : James Chandler <br /> County Administrator <br /> THROUGH : James W . Davis , P . E . <br /> Public Works Director <br /> FROM : William M . Napier, SRPA , SRA <br /> Right-of-Way Agent <br /> -SUBJECT : Right -of-Way Acquisition <br /> 74 Avenue Improvements <br /> Richard H . & Jan Jones -Turner <br /> DATE : July 11 , 2001 <br /> DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br /> Sixty feet (60' ) of additional road right-of-way totaling 19 , 949 . 70 square feet is needed in <br /> conjunction with the 74`" Avenue Improvements , to provide a straight roadway , swale <br /> drainage , sidewalk , utility pole corridor, etc. Staff has negotiated this matter with the <br /> property owners and their attorney , Ralph Evans since November, 1999 . The Turners both <br /> reside , and operate a wholesale plant nursery at the property . <br /> Earlier negotiations were based on additional needed right-of-way of 30 feet , since the <br /> Indian River Farms 1920 map showed the existence of a 30 foot road right-of-way . The <br /> additional 30 feet would have provided the total 60 feet needed ; however, there apparently <br /> never was a recorded conveyance of the right-of-way shown on the Indian River Farms <br /> map , as Mr. Evans recently acquired an abstract that shows the County does not own the <br /> 30 feet shown on the map ; therefore , the County has no right-of-way . <br /> On January 14 , 2000 , assuming 30 feet of existing right-of-way , the Turners offered to sell <br /> the County an additional 30 feet for $271 , 896 , and , if the County was interested in attaining <br /> the ultimate right-of-way of 90 feet , they would sell another 30 feet encompassing part of <br /> the house for $436 , 575 for a total purchase price of $708 , 471 . <br /> A determination was made that the ultimate right-of-way would not be necessary for this <br /> project, so staff negotiated for 30 feet. The County offered the Turners $40 , 980 on <br /> February 14 , 2000 based on staffs ' analysis . The Turners countered this on April 18 , 2000 <br /> at $ 175 ,296 . The County then had an appraisal prepared on August 10 , 2000 which <br /> JULY 179 2001RX6 9 0 <br /> - 39 - <br />
