4/1/2021 Item Coversheet <br /> has approached the City with the possibility of a resolution to the sale of this property. To date,no response has been received on <br /> the City's counteroffer. The attached resolution requesting Quick Take will not stop any negotiations from continuing. <br /> Parcels 57a&57b: 3941 &4147 East Faries Parkway and 4000 East Logan Street <br /> Contact with the property owners began on July 28,2020. Formal offers for the properties were received by the owner on <br /> December 3,2020. Numerous discussions have been conducted since that date and the owners have pressed that the property <br /> value is more than double the City's appraisal. No real progress has been made in the negotiations to date and phone calls are not <br /> being answered or returned. Although attempts at discussions will continue, in the interest of keeping the overall project on <br /> schedule, it is recommended that City staff be authorized to initiate condemnation proceedings and that the City Council request <br /> Quick Take authorization. This will not stop negotiations for continuing but will keep them from further controlling the project. <br /> The annexation of the ADM property at 4187 East Faries Parkway makes all of these properties contiguous to City limits which <br /> meets the requirements for the City to begin condemnation and seek Quick Take authority. <br /> PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: <br /> See Appendix A for prior Council action on this item. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: The current property owners are likely objectors. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: <br /> Crawford,Murphy&Tilly,Inc. <br /> LEGAL REVIEW: The Legal Department will prepare the necessary condemnation documents to be filed. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Matt Newell,Public Works Director.Matt will attend the City Council meeting to answer any questions <br /> of the Council on this item. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: <br /> The necessary documents will be filed upon approval by the City Council. <br /> COPY: Crawford,Murphy&Tilly,Inc. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Description Type <br /> Resolution AuthorizingLegal Proceedings for <br /> Condemnation of Parcl 57a,Located at 3941 East Faries Resolution Letter <br /> Parkway,for the Brush College Road over Faries Parkway_ <br /> Grade Separation Project <br /> Appendix A Backup Material <br /> Location Map Backup Material <br /> https://decatur.novusagenda.com/AgendaWeb/CoverSheet.aspx?ltemiD=3297 2/2 <br />
