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.
