The improvements will include traffic signalization, modified
eastbound and westbound approaches, crosswalks and sidewalks,
and an improved culvert crossing through increased drainage
capacity of Critical Drainage Structure No. 18 on Union Church
Road west of the intersection. The purchase of the right-of-way and
temporary construction easement are essential to the design and
construction of the project. As included in the appraisal, the
approved amount also specifies the value of the existing site
improvements within the proposed easements. The total
compensation for the 0.1546 acres of Right-of-Way needed and the
0.0255 acres of temporary construction needed is $143,362.56. The
property was appraised at $136,500, therefore the negotiated cost
is above appraisal by 5.03% yet within Staff’s authorization.
