OLD BUSINESS
OLIVEIP~-SACRAMENTO NORTHERN RAILWAY EASEMENT CONDEMNATION
Mr. Nejedly, Counsel for the District, reviewed the discussions with Mr.
Mancini, representing Mr. and Mrs. Oliveira, regarding the value and acquiring the
fee title or an easement.
Mr. Dalton, Assistant District Engineer, stated that a 20 foot permanent
easement would be required and survey for the work was tentatively scheduled for
the spring of 1959 with construction in 1961. He further stated this was the best
location for the line, also indicated in the Brown and Caldwell engineering survey.
Mr. Dalton reported that in his discussions with Mr. Horstkotte it was
determined that it would be best to take fee title and deal with others who may
have a need and with the property owners adjoining who are interested in pur-
chasing additional land.
Mr. Mancini stated that he wished to put a road, for access to his prop~rty,
within the area of the property under condemnation.
He further stated that approximately 80 percent of the adjoining property
owners had expressed interest in acquiring portions abutting their properties at
a price.of approximately $500.00 for a 30 x 100 foot section.
Letters addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Oliveira from Mrs. Joseph Whalen
and Mr. and Mrs. George W. Hearne were presented to the District Board by Mr.
Mancini. The letters expressed interest in the purchase of that portion adjoining
their properties at prices of $1,250.00 and $1,200.00 respectively.
After discussion, it was moved by Member Mitchell, seconded by Member
Salfingere, that the District condemn the fee and negotiate for the disposal of
that portion of the property that will not interfere with the sewer installation.
