MEMORANDUM FOR:

SUBJECT:
December 5, 1974
HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
G. A. Horstkotte, Jr., General Manager -Chief Engineer
AUTHORIZATION OF CONDEMNATION ACTION AGAINST OAKHILL
ASSOCIATES - JOB NO. 2517, PARCEL 2
PROBLEM: Duffel Company has been unable to obtain this easement through
reasonable negotiations. They have therefore requested that this District
proceed with a condemnation action.
BACKGROUND: Oakhill Associates extended a public main to serve their
property (Job 2392). Duffel must extend this main to serve their property
(Job 2517). Oakhill wants Duffel to pay 50% of the cost of Oakhill's
extension. Duffel refuses to pay 50% but has offered an amount of money
based on the District's rebate ordinance. Both parties are adamant; a
stalemate exists.
Duffel has requested permission to use an existing private six-inch
lateral which extends to Risa Road. The General Manager -Chief Engineer
has reviewed the request and decided that use of this private lateral is
not in keeping with the District Code. District Counsel has concurred in
this finding.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval; authorize District Legal Counsel to initiate
condemnation proceedings after negotiations have been exhausted.
