PROTEST OF CLAYTON JOHNSON RE CONNECTION FEES
In addition to the copy of the letter dated January 24,1949, from John
Mason, District Manager, to Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Johnson sent to the Members
of the District Board, it was explained that it was a firm policy in securing
easements to compensate property owners for damage as a result of granting
the easement and the relief of any normal or future District charges has not
been a consideration for granting of needed easements.
The easement granted by Mr. and Mrs. Johnson was one of arer one hundred
easements secured for Local Improvement District No.4. The cost of securing
these easements was a charge to the Assessment District and became a part of the
total cost of the work. If damage to property as a result of granting easements
was compensated for by relief of normal or future District charges, it would
result in general funds of the District paying for what is a charge to the
Assessment District and a part of the assessment to cover the cost of the work.
I....
Of over one hundred easements granted to the District in Local Improvement
District No. h, all but six were granted without cost. One was paid $50.00 for
damage to the property and, of five condemnations, one was settled for $125.00
and one for $50.00 as a result of damage; the other three were uncontested.
It was stated that comparable sales were checked to determine the value
of the easement as of the date of taking, February 27, 19u9, and it was
determined to be of nominal value.
