<br />12-1 and 12-3

<br />July 20, 1970

<br />
<br />Easement 12-3 (R-2 Classification):
<br />Permanent 705'x30' - 21,150 sq. ft.
<br />Construction 740'x30' - 22,200 sq. ft.
<br />
<br />$444.00
<br />154.00
<br />$598.00
<br />
<br />Resodding 555'x60'- 33,300 sq. ft. or
<br />3,700 sq. yd. at .55 $2,035.00
<br />
<br />Thus, Mr. Membrez's total estimate for the two easements, including
<br />resodding, came to $2,937.00.
<br />
<br />On July 2, 1970, Mr. Bettendorf called to advise that the commissioners
<br />had made a preliminary determination as to the amount of the award
<br />but were concerned that the amount to be awarded Mrs. Waldoch for the
<br />resodding of 12-3 would exceed the actual damages awarded therefor.
<br />The figures he mentioned in his telephone conversation were $225.00
<br />for the 12-1 permanent and temporary easements and $~50.00 for the
<br />12-3 permanent and temporary easements. He said that the latter
<br />figure was high because the east-west segment of 12-3 isolated or
<br />cut off a 25'x150' strip, which, I mentioned above, the commissioners
<br />were concerned about at the hearing. He was concerned that the award
<br />for resodding would exceed $2,000.00 and wanted me to find out whether
<br />the Village would be willing to resod itself or else seed and mulch
<br />the area encompassed by the easement, or, if the Village were not
<br />willing to do this, to find out what the actual area was, in square
<br />yards, that needed to be resodded.
<br />
<br />I called Don Lund about my telephone conversation with Mr. Bettendorf.
<br />Mr. Lund advised, and I fully agree with his advice, that it would be
<br />economically unwise for the Village to resod itself for he had gotten,
<br />a bid for resodding the actual area that needed to be resodded,
<br />2,380 sq.yd., (smaller than the area that Membrez had used in his
<br />estimate by 1,320 sq. yd.} of $ .70 per sq. yd., i.e., a total of
<br />$1,666.00. Thus, I called Mr., Bettendorf back and told him that the
<br />Village would prefer having their award include reimbursement for the
<br />resodding. I gave him the actual area that would have to be resodded,
<br />2,380 sq. yd., an area 1/3 less than the original area the commissioners
<br />were going to use in computing the sod reimsursement aspect of the
<br />award.
<br />
<br />On July 16th, 1970, the commissioners filed their report. An executed
<br />copy of the Report is enclosed herewith for your information and file.
<br />I was very pleased and surprised by the amounts they awarded the
<br />Waldochs. They awarded Mrs. WaldOCh, for easement 12-3 and the sod
<br />replacernent,$1,550.00~ in short, they only allowed Mrs. Waldoch $300.00
<br />for the sod replacement rather than the $1,428.00 (2,380 sq. yd. x
<br />$ .60 =$1,428.00) that I had expected them to include in the award
<br />for sod replacement. They awarded Mr. and Mrs. Edward Waldoch $225.00
<br />for the taking of easement 12-1.
