NEW BUSINESS

Highway Engineer - Todd Listerman-  ROW for Bridge #44 Turkey Point Rd-  County has acquired 2 parcels, but need to condemn 2 more. One is an unknown owner, and this was best way to settle R/W according to Denny Kraus and Andy Baudendistel. Parcel # 15-05-28-400-040.000-019 is the unknown owners and heirs property.The total piece is a “large piece”- over 1/2 acre. Approved the condemnation procedure. 

The other property is a small sliver owned by Edward and Joyce Donaldson. The County (Planning and Zoning) has sued them him the past over R/W on Willoughby Road. Listerman had spoken to Mr. Donaldson who has rejected offers on this project too and he said he will not settle without going to court. a 50x50 of permanent ROW and a 30x30 piece for temporary ROW. .053 acres of permanent ROW. The county only did this once before with Baudendistel- and the Stateline project and that was settled after the county filed and so it didn’t go to court. County offered $6500 for permanent and $3200 for temporary for 5 years to Donaldsons.

Commissioners asked what the objection was- and it’s more the back history on the previous court case with them and the county that made him politely decline per Listerman. The offer was generous to attempt to avoid condemnation and court costs. Commissioners approved beginning the proceedings for the condemnation on Donaldson’s property.
