The following summarizes the 10 parcels and their status: Parcel 1 — Alex & Martha Pier Parcel 1 is a vacant lot located at 101 Cottonwood Drive and consists of 21,500 (.494 AC) square feet. This parcel has been acquired at a value of $93,606.10, or $4.35/SF. Parcel 2 — Roger & Debbie Anderson Parcel 2 is located at 100 Cottonwood Drive and consists of 20,272 (.465 AC) square feet.

Contact was made with Bill Mills via letter by our department on 6/11/2009, and by TNP on 6/16/2009 informing him of the project and the right of way needs. On 7/20/2009 an offer of $18,135.00, or $8.035/SF was sent to Mr. Mills for his consideration. We subsequently reviewed this offer and realized that the DCAD appraisal of this land was at $11.25 /SF and issued a corrected offer of $25,391.25.

This offer was intended to compensate him for the loss of 11 trees, and provide an amounused at his discretion for landscaping and screening to shield his residence from Sandy Lake road once it moves 25 feet closer to his house. On 4/28/2010 Mr. Mills sent a counter offer in the amount of $132,547.17 or $58.73/SF. Due to the separation we decided to move on to other parcels with the understanding that we would need to conduct an appraisal and may need to go through the eminent domain process on this parcel.
