Langel' Cc: Adam Johnson (ajohnso8 @gmail.com) Subject: RE: Adam Johnson - cartway petition We will have the Affidavits of Service sent over to the administrator shortly. The affected properties are on notice of the petition and hearing now. As to damages, my client understood that the City was conducting an evaluation, for which he paid $5000 if I recall correctly. Mr. Johnson is of the opinion that there are no real damages because he is merely getting access to his property by an existing bridge. Of course, he understands that a pro -rata share of future maintenance is likely part of the deal. Please confirm that the fee he paid to cover costs includes an evaluation of damages. Will Mr. Johnson have the evaluation performed by the City's engineer /appraiser prior to the hearing? We would request receiving it with sufficient time to obtain an additional opinion, if necessary. From: Joseph J. Langel [mailto:JJL @ratwiklaw.com] Sent: Friday, May 25, 2012 1:39 PM 4
