DESCRIPTION
The County has a Community Investment Project to improve CR 542A (Galloway Road) at 10th Street to a roundabout intersection in Lakeland. To allow construction of the roundabout, the County will need to acquire additional right-of-way for the intersection from impacted property owners. The Board previously adopted a resolution authorizing negotiations and written offers to be made on this project.
Parcel 110 is an irregular shaped fee parcel, containing approximately 5,386 square feet which is needed as mainline right-of-way for the project. The parent parcel is a nearly square shaped parcel, containing nearly 1-acre, located at the southwest corner of the intersection which is improved with the single-family homestead residence of the owners. The County hired an independent appraiser to establish full compensation for the taking of Parcel Number 110 and the owners, Daniel M. Hardwick and Barbara A. Hardwick, his wife, have agreed to accept the County's offer in the amount of $115,700 for the purchase of the parcel. The owners have not incurred any attorney's fees or expert costs in conjunction with this acquisition.
The County Attorney's Office and the Real Estate Services Administrator have reviewed the agreement and recommend approval. The alternative of acquiring this parcel through condemnation litigation would result in substantial cost to the County. Approving the Right-of-Way Agreement and authorizing the issuance of funds for the purchase will allow the County to take ownership of the parcel needed for the project.
RECOMMENDATION
Request Board approve the aforementioned Right-of-Way Agreement for Parcel 110 and authorize the issuance of funds in the amount of $115,700 for the purchase.
