BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
At its June 19, 2018 meeting, the Board approved item 18-4760 (see attached) that authorized the County Manager to negotiate and execute a permanent easement from James P. Knuckles, LLC on Tax Parcel 097-223-11 that would link Eastway Regional Park to the nearby Briarwood Community Park. Based on design information available at that time, the easement was to be 0.35 acres in size. Since approval of item 18-4760, the project's design team has determined that the size of the easement needs to expand slightly in size to 0.399 acres. As such, the payment to the owner will need to increase accordingly. The original purchase price of the easement was $21,000. The new purchase price is $23,958 based on the appraisal that was conducted by Fortenberry Lambert, Inc.
Acquisition items being considered for purchase at appraised value of $30,000 or under are heard on the consent portion of the agenda per County agenda guidelines.
