PUBLIC ORAL COMMUNICATIONS None 11/15/83 Book 63 Page 207 PUBLIC HEARING The Public Hearing on ADOPTION of RESOLUTION of NECESSITY to CONDEMN PRIVATE PROPERTY for PUBLIC PURPOSES was held at this time. City Engineer Benzing said two properties which are required to extend Euclid Ave. between Plaza and 16th are recommended for condemnation (2337 E. 13th St. - Terrell E. Rogers; 2435 E. 13th - Jeanette Harrison); negotiations have come to an impasse; on August 2, 1983, Council instructed the City Attorney to proceed with condemnation on Mr. Rogers' property and on October 25, 1983, Council instructed the City Attorney to proceed with condemnation on Ms. Harrison's property; on October 26, 1983, the City Attorney prepared, and notices were sent, advising both property owners of the public hearing; the Rogers acquisition is 2313.6 sq. ft. of front yard area, necessary to widen 13th St. at its new intersection with Orange Ave.; the Harrison acquisition is 47 sq. ft. of front yard area, necessary for a cul-de-sac of 13th St., West of proposed Euclid Ave.; Mr. Rogers has refused to meet with the City's acquisition agent to discuss the acquisition and is against the project in general; Ms. -Harrison has negotiated, but we are at an impasse on the value of a tree, which is not in the taking area, but would be affected by the proposed project. Discussion. TERRELL ROGERS, 2337 E. 13th St., was present and said the 18' the City is asking for, plus the 2' easement, would make it 5' wider than the existing street. City Engineer Benzing said to his knowledge, the total right-of-way taking is not wider than the existing street; the City is asking for an extra 3' which is for a temporary right to enter and construct; once construction is completed, the 3' will belong to Mr. Rogers. Further discussion. Mayor Morgan asked the City Engineer to check this out. Mr. Rogers continued, the property West of him belongs to the City; on the East side of the street, the City is going to the expense of making a cul-de-sac, but on the West side, they are doing nothing. Further discussion. City Engineer Benzing said the main reason it is necessary to widen in front of Mr. Rogers' property is due to the new intersection at Orange; in order for vehicles to turn in and out of this new intersection, his side of the street needs to be widened. Further discussion. City Engineer Bening said the appraised value for Mr. Rogers' property is $11,008, and for the temporary license to perform work on a strip of land 3' wide, a consideration of $200; Mr. Rogers will be compensated for the improvements on the property. Further discussion, City Engineer Benzing continued, the appraisal was done by a licensed appraiser, and approved by the State and Federal Highway Administration. Further discussion. Mr. Rogers continued, he does not think the price he is being offered is a fair price; the 3 people who were forced out in order to bring Euclid through could not purchase (new) property for the amount the City paid. JEANETTE HARRISON, 2435 E. 13th St., was present and said in 1971 she was offered $300 for her 47 sq. ft., but the acquisition was stopped before any action was taken; now the City's agent, Mr. McFarland, is offering her $215 for the property; she is not asking for more money than other people have been paid, but she wants a fair price; the first time she met with Mr. McFarland, he seemed to be unaware of the tree she is concerned about; after he went through his paperwork, he found another $900 the City was willing to pay for the tree; the tree was appraised at $3,800; replacement value is $7,600; after she presented the appraisal, the City told her they didn't need the tree; she asked for a "tree agreement" saying they would not kill her tree; Mr. McFarland drafted an agreement and submitted it to the City Attorney; the City came back to her with an offer of $1,800; she does not want $1,800; she wants a 5-year agreement with the City saying the tree will not die or be damaged. City Engineer Benzing said the current appraised value of her property is $215; the appraiser could not determine if the tree would be affected, but established a value of $900 for the tree if it was to be taken; the Engineering Dept. looked at the tree and determined that it was outside the right-of-way taking, but it overhung the right-of-way, and there are a lot of surface roots 11/15/83 Book 63 Page 208 in the taking; the appraiser said that for landscaping on a piece of property, the City can only pay the value that the landscaping gives to the overall property; the tree may be worth $3,800, but the value that it gives the property is $900. Further discussion. City Engineer Benzing continued, the City has the legal liability to trim the tree as necessary to clear the public right-of-way. Ms. Harrison said she does not object to trimming the tree, but does not want it trimmed so as to damage the tree; she is willing to trim the tree. Further discussion. No one else was present to speak in this regard. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Van Deventer, the Public Hearing be continued to November 22, 1983. Discussion. Carried by unanimous vote.
