Re: Lyman Boulevard /Lake Riley Utilities Project 6%3 -'7,
Dear Mr. Ashworth:
As part of the Lake Riley utilities /Lyman Boulevard project it was necessary to
acquire easements over several parcels of property. One parcel of property over which
permanent and temporary easements were needed is owned by Andrew and Linda Freseth.
The permanent easement area over the property is approximately 10,134 square feet and the
temporary easement area is 4,663 square feet.
The City's appraisal of damages due to the Freseths as a result of the easements is
$4,400.00. We have been negotiating with the Freseths and they are willing to settle the
matter for $5,000.00. Given the settlement request is close to our appraisal for damages, I
recommend that the Council approve the settlement at $5,000.00.
Please place this matter on the next available Council agenda for the Council's
review. If approved, please contact me and I will complete the necessary documentation.
As always, if you or any member of the Council requires additional information,
please feel free to call me.
Very truly yours,
CAMPBELL, . UTSON, SC •
& FUCHS, P7.
