Background/Discussion Staff continues to work with our attorneys to secure interest in the property owned by the heirs of the Lakoduk's and the Wingness's in addition to the North 33 feet of Old Hwy 10 Challenges in securing interest from the many potential heirs, most of whom have little or no knowledge of the property which was formerly road right of way,has resulted in the consideration of proceeding with a condemnation action. Our representing attorney will provide background information regarding condemnation of property considered as statutorily abandoned. The heirs will still receive notice of the condemnation action,but their only interest should be in the compensation amount. The parcels being considered are parcel 1, owned by the heirs of the Lakoduk's and the Wingness's in addition to the North 33 feet of Old Highway 10 which was originally thought to be owned by the county. Per Commercial Partners Title, Parcel 3A, the north half of old Hwy 10,is owned by Charles E Johnson,who obtained title in 1909. Presumably Mr.Johnson is also no longer alive and the title evidence suggests that this property was not conveyed through a probated estate. The first step in this process is to obtain an appraisal for both parcels. We have retained Nagell Appraisal & Consulting to complete the appraisal. The condemnation process has risks, but it provides the city with control over timing of conveyance. Financial Impact None Attachments ■ Updated Parcel Diagram POWERED 6T A IR
