This is done as a "Determination of Just Compensation, Administrative Procedure". Since I believe you don't have a right of way person on your staff, then ODOT tells me you wouldn't be able to use this procedure if there was State or Federal money involved. In this case you would need to secure a regular appraisal. However, if the money for the project was derived from local firnds, then this administrative procedure could be used for up to a maximum value per property of 52500. A blank form as used by ODOT is attached. Also included is a sample one filled out from one of their projects. If you decide to use this procedure, then you would need to develop a land value for each site, plus adding in for any improvements such as landscaping and fencing. Also,one property on this project is fairly close the street and you would need to check to see if your purchase would put the structure too close to meet the setback requirements. If you wish us to proceed with this project, I will order the preliminary title reports soon (billing for these to your attention). Also we would need legal descriptions and a proposed deed, an appraisal with letter of just compensation,or an administrative procedure form. Our charge to the City to carry these two files through to document signing or turning them over to your attorney would be at our standard fee schedule, not to exceed a total of $3000.
