ADJOURNMENT
ATTACHMENT TO 7/3/86 APPROVED
BOARD MINUTES
The amount paid to the Alpine County Clerk for the Harvey Place
Dam Site and Access Road was $39,105. This was the High Appraisal
value based on the April, 1986 Nichols appraisal. It was paid to the
Alpine Clerk rather than directly to Heise Land & Livestock because
this procedure allows the court to give the District an Order of
Immediate Possession. Property owner may then draw-out the money
by Agreement with the District and Order of the Court or by Motion
to the Court. Heise L & L drew-out the money by Agreement with the
District.
The breakdown is as follows:
Dam Parcel - $35,925
Access Road- 3,180
* $39,105
23.95 ac.
3.21 ac.
27.16 ac.
(Permanent Easement)
*This amount was somewhat smaller than the Appraisal because the
Access Road was an easement rather than a purchase.
