If the award is appealed and subsequently assigned to a jury trial, legal fees could <br />double to approximately $30,000. Obviously, this is in addition to any cash awards to the <br />existing property owners. <br />Staff was also directed to determine the impact on the remaining property. Since this is <br />somewhat subjective process and the commissioners are much more versed in determining land <br />values, staff does not feel comfortable identifying a possible land value impact on the remaining <br />property. <br />RD:sw <br />sw /parkbrd /Meeting Info /Review Possible Condemnation Costs for Birch Park Trail.doc <br />
