HEISE LAND & LIVE- STOCK (CLARENCE BURR) JOHNfW~NN, CHA-I~A SOUT~AHOE PUBIC UTILITY DISTRICT SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT 5:20 P.M. 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. PAT A. MAMATH, CLERK OF BOARD SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
