DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
We currently have 4 parcels set for hearing before Circuit Judge Lisa Herndon for a “Quick Take” hearing pursuant to Ch. 74, Florida Statutes. As a result of the two Stipulated Orders of Taking and Final Judgments (copies attached hereto), this will conclude the acquisition of two of the four parcels. Both of these parcels are “whole takes” with the ACTDT BROWN, LLC parcel being unimproved, and the DOROTHY ANTHONY parcel being improved with a single- family residence.
The Parcel No. 10 AR Dorothy Anthony settlement results in a County payment of $530,000.00, including $21,000 moving/relocation expenses, and $65,000 in attorney fees. There are no expert witness fees due, and this settlement will avoid the necessity for both sides to engage additional services from expert witnesses. Ms. Anthony will be allowed extended possession for 90 days pursuant to execution of a separate lease, to remove all of her belongings and vacate the premises.
The Parcel No. 42 AL ACTDT BROWN, LLC settlement results in a County payment of $49,310.00, including $2,310.00 in attorney fees. As with the Dorothy Anthony parcel, there are no additional expert witness fees.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Total budget impact of $579,310.00 for the two acquisitions
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Motion to approve Stipulated Orders of Taking and Final Judgments as to Parcel Nos. 10 AR and 42 AL. The County Attorney requests approval to make revisions to these settlements that do not revise the payment amounts.
