DATE: March 30, 1989
SUBJECT: Tentative Settlement Agreements Reached for
Parcels 21 and 12
Tequesta Drive Improvement Project
This is to request authorization to proceed with tentative
Settlement Agreements reached with property owners of the above
parcels as follows:
o Parcel 12, Tequesta Corporate Centers Partners (property at
southeast corner of Tequesta Drive and Old Dixie Highway)
In regard to this parcel, we have reached a tentative
settlement agreement of $22,800. Based on our best estimates,
the original appraisal amount of $13,700. will be increased
to at least $15,600. As you will note, the difference
between the amount acceptable to the property owners and
anticipated appraised value is $7,200. In light of the fact
that each individual suit is expected to cost the Village in
excess of $10,000, we think this to be a reasonable figure.
o Parcel 21, Inlet Professional Building
Our original offer to this property owner to the parcel
required to the right -of -way was $5,550, which was the
appraised value as of April 1987. The property owner counter
offered with an amount of $25,000, which offer was based on
the property owners feeling that he is losing two parking
spaces. In the course of lengthy negotiations with the
owner, we have arrived at an amount of $10,000, which is
acceptable to the Administration and the property owner.
Again, expenses for continued litigation will be in excess of
$10,000 and we believe it is in the best interest of the
Village to limit its legal confrontations with taxpayers.
I am hereby requesting authorization to proceed with purchasing
the parcels above for not more than the above amounts. Your approval
is requested.
