The Bridge is adjacent to and east of property belonging to <br /> the Cactus Mobile Ranch Home Community LLC. As part of the engineering design it <br /> was determined that the City requires a slope and drainage easement from Cactus <br /> Mobil Ranch Home Community LLC. Despite repeated attempts to reach a mutually <br /> acceptable purchase price, the owner of Cactus Mobile Ranch Home Community LLC <br /> refuses to grant the easements to the City. As a result it is necessary for the City to use <br /> its power of Eminent Domain to acquire the easements. <br /> The total size of the easements is 5,213 square feet and an appraisal conducted by the <br /> City has determined the property is worth a total value of$6,300.00. <br /> Attachments <br /> 1. Resolution No. 2019-1693 <br /> 2. Exhibit A- Government Canyon Bridge <br /> Recommended Action: MOVE to adopt Resolution No. 2019-1693. <br /> I Packet Pg. 90 I <br />
