. e page 2 II. ASSESSMENT OF FAIR MARKET VALUE FEES FOR. CLOSING: As defined in Chapter 21, Section 21-28, of La Portel's Code of Ordinances, the school district, being a governmental entity with the power of eminent domain, will be exempted from the fair market value fees associated wl.th closing of the district's portion of the alley. The remaining portion of the alley situated between the Church's property (Lots 1-4 & 29-32), will be subject to the aforementioned fees. Based on ordinance provisions, the fair market value of the church's portion of the alley is two-thousand one-hundred dollars ($2,100.00). Payment of this fee is required to close the alley. In the event that either the applicant or the city does not agree with the fair market value, the ordinance provides an option for an independent fee appraisal from an appraiser selected by the City at the applicant's expense. Attached is an excerpt (Section 21-28) from the:: ordinance governing street and alley closings which addresses the appraisal and procedure for pursuing an independent appraisal of the property (Exhibit "B "). III. FUTURE RELOCATION OF EXISTING UTILITIES: Once the alley has been closed and easements provided, any future plans of the school district for construction on or across the existing utility easement will require relocation of the existing utilities. The city maintains a 1" water line and an 8" sanitary sewer line in the alley. Relocation of these facilities will require the submittal and' approval of plans and specifications from a registered professional engineer. The city will not participate in the cost of relocating these facilities. Attached is an exhibit showing a potential reroute of the city's sanitary sewer line as well as the location of the nearest city water line available (Exhibit "C"). In regard to H.L.& P. and S. W .B. T. facilities, arrangements will need to be made independently with each utility company for relocation of their utilities.
