Permanent Right Of Way
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Wood:
In accordance with the Texas Landowner's Bill of Rights, prescribed by the Texas Legislature in
Texas Government Code Section 402.031 and Chapter 21 of the Texas Property Code, the City
of Southlake commissioned Goodrich, Schechter & Associates of Fort Worth, Texas to appraise
the market value of a 13,565 square feet (0.311 acre) tract of land that the City proposes to
acquire as a permanent Right Of Way and 19,058 square feet for temporary construction
easements. A copy of the appraisal is enclosed.
The City of Southlake is proposing to widen North White Chapel Boulevard from Highland
Street to SH114 to improve traffic flow as part of the City's Capital Improvement Program. In
order to accomplish this, it is necessary to construct a portion of the proposed improvements
adjacent to your properties at 1170 and 1180 N. White Chapel Boulevard. The City of Southlake
is requesting a permanent Right Of Way at this location to allow for the construction of roadway
improvements and City access for future construction or maintenance and repair.
The City of Southlake is prepared to offer ninety -six thousand nine hundred dollars ($96,900) as
compensation for the proposed Right Of Way acquisitions, which is fair market value of the
parcel as determined by said appraisal.
I have enclosed the right of way and easement documents for your review, along with a copy of
the Texas Landowner's Bill of Rights, prescribed by the Texas Legislature in Texas Government
Code Section 402.031 and Chapter 21 of the Texas Property Code. If you are agreeable to the
request, please sign the offer letter and return it to the City of Southlake in the attached envelope
and I will initiate the closing process. We do request that counter offers be accompanied by a
supporting certified appraisal.
Time is of the essence for this vital transportation improvement project, therefore we are asking
for a response to our offer within 14 days. Time will be allotted in the Right -of -Way acquisition
process for you to obtain an appraisal to support a counter offer, however, please provide the
City an executed agreement with a certified appraiser for our files.
