Mr. `1 eery Maurer October l 8, 1995 Con't page 2 • `I'h.e land~awner is allowed a reasonable time after the offer is made to consider the offer before t1rL petition is~ filed. This amount of time is not listed in the statutes but MSA procedures states thirty d4tys. I~iegotiati~:~r~s can and usually do continue while this process goes on. You also requested that I give you some ideas of the cost to do the acquisition. Phis is difficult to do beca~ise y°ou are dealing with landowners and these negotiations are not concrete. The cost of the appraisal could be as high as $1,000.00 to $1,500.00 per parcel depending on the size of tl~e parcel and. they could be as low as $500.00 per parcel. If the takings are small, the Minimum L~arnage Ac~uiitican {MDA) valuation could be used. This would reduce both the time and cost of valurtion. We can, and often do, arrange for the appraisals valuations with the client's approval of the appraiser.. ltor us to do the 1ViDA valuation, preliminary title, prepare documents with the City Attorney's approval, prepare oft'er letter and brochures and negotiate with the landowners is again difficult to estimate. Sos7~e parcels that are permanent easements or fee takings could range from $540.00 to $1,000.00 or higher if larc°lowne.r attorneys get involved. Temporary easements could range from $300.00 to $S00.00. You advi>ed me that there .are approximately thirty-five parcels involved, twenty-five residential and ten • conataercial. A rough estimate of costs to secure the necessary rights would be between $22,000.00 to $27,OQO.C}0. It would take up to one month to contact ali owners and make the oI~'ers. It would take another thirty to forty-five days for negotiations to take place. Of course negotiations can take place during the 120 day "quick. tale" period. This time frame can also be shortened by adding additional staff. I Dope this is the information you wanted. I would be happy to meet with you and representatives of the City of Flk River to review this process and answer any questions. . I will a~wa.i.t to hear from you. Sincerely, ~l d'am` u.
