FROM: Jill Goddard, Land Agent
SUBJECT: Highway 265 Water/Sewerl]Relo'cations
Phase I (Highway 16 north to Deerpath Drive)
Project No. 97043
Richard L. & Ethel L. Mayes
The City has been acquiring easements along Highway 16 and Highway 265 for water and sewer
relocations to be constructed prior to the Highway Department widening of Highway 265.
On Phase I, there is one property without signed documentation (or even a verbal indication of
settlement). Given the extremely short time frame in which to do these relocations, it is necessary that
the City initiate condemnation proceedings as soon as possible in order to obtain court possession of
this land so as not to interfere with the construction schedule.
Initially, Mr. and Mrs. Mayes were offered $615.00 for the conveyance of rights associated with a twenty
foot wide permanent easement (6,731 square feet), $330.00 as rental of the lands associated with the
Temporary Construction and Grading Easement (6,731 square feet), and $200.00 in landscape
damages; for a total offer amount of $1 , 145.00. This offer was originally presented on August 23, 1999.
(See attached case history. )
Mr. and Mrs. Mayes have apparently been advised by their attorney not to sign any easements as they
are in litigation with the Highway Department in regard to the right of way acquisition of a portion of their
property along Highway 265.
An independent appraisal has been requested from Mark Risk, The Real Estate Consultants, to
determine land value as the original offer amount was based on appraisal information prepared by the
Highway Department for their right of way acquisition. This was received September 27, 1999. A
revised offer will be presented to the Mayes based on this appraisal.

been advised by their attorney not to sign anything until discussing
matters with him first. They were verbally told of the very short time
frame associated with this project.
August 24, 1999 Large scale drawing of area delivered to Mr. and Mrs. Mayes to give
to their attorney.

compensation and the amount will be paid to you thereby disposing of the condemnation suit.

RE: Highway 265 Water/Sewer Relocations
Job No. 97043
Tract No. 30
Side Letter
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Mayes:
In reviewing the plans for the above mentioned project, some special items need to be
taken into consideration.
Construction of the water line will necessitate the removal of certain trees
within the permanent easement area. The City tries to avoid damage to and
the loss of trees and other vegetation; however, there are times when
circumstances leave no other choice. The City cannot adequately
compensate you for the loss of any mature trees that are in landscaped
areas; however, the following proposed compensation will allow you to plant
similar trees as a substitute for the trees that will have to be removed:
2-1"mimosa =@$100 $200
The City does not encourage the planting of new trees in the specified
permanent easement area because such trees inhibit the future use of said
easement area.
The 20" elm in the 12 foot diameter wooden planter (within the temporary
construction easement area) is to be protected by the contractor.
If you have any further concerns or comments, please feel free to call either Ed Connell
at 444-3415 or Jill Goddard at 444-3407.
Sincerely yours,
Jim Beavers
City Engineer
