REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 22, 2013 316
<br />Attorney Larry Meteiver stated Mr. Tim Jackson, DLZ, provided written notice of the Public
<br />Hearing and provided letters to the adjoining property owners with copies of the Notice. He
<br />stated the just compensation for the property was found to be $109.86 based on the square
<br />footage of the lot. Mr. Gilot noted previous discussions were had regarding the minimum level
<br />INDOT has established for right-of-way acquisition of property. Mr. Meteiver stated tNDOT has
<br />established a minimum amount of $400.00 as a guideline for right-of-way property acquisition.
<br />He noted that guideline has been used on other parcels for this project. Mr. Gilot stated the city
<br />should stay consistent and follow that guideline in this case also. Therefore, upon a motion made
<br />by Ms. Roos, seconded by Mr. Relos and carried, the Board approved the award of $400.00 for
<br />the right-of-way easement for the property. Mr. Meteiver stated there are two parts to this award,
<br />the establishment of the amount and the approval to split the award 50/50 between the two
<br />adjoining property owners. Therefore, Ms. Roos made a motion to amend her previous motion,
<br />and to split the award equally between the two property owners, awarding $200.00 to each. Mr.
<br />Relos seconded the motion, which carried, and the following Resolution was adopted by the
