She went on and on about the street not supposed to be on her side of the right of way. She asked us where to get a good E. D. lawyer. She wanted to get a noise study done, and a traffic safety study. She insisted on a wall to secure her from the dangerous moving traffic so close to her house. She went on and on about all the promises the City had broken to her. After two and one half hours of negotiations she finally seemed resolved to the fact that the street widening was coming. By the time we left she had conceded to a 6 foot wooden stockade fence, replacement of her trees, a fence across the front of her place and the financial consideration we had offered. She sent us the above email before we had returned to the office. (LE) 8/7/09 — Mrs. Lawson sent an email saying she is working on the refinance of her property. 8/8/09 — Received email sending a new recorded deed filed May 1, 2009 filing number 200900124897. It listed her as sole owner of property by power of attorney for Mark Bestor. I sent this to the title company and they said they would not write title insurance because if though you have power of attorney you can not deed property to yourself. I emailed her back letting her know what the title company had said. Mr. Bestor would have to sign for himself. 9/18/09 — Follow up on counter. 9/22/09 — Mrs. Lawson told me she had found some comps that reflected $375k/acre. She also wanted to know the person with the City to talk to about light commercial zoning of her property. I told her to talk to Keith Mary in. 9/24/09 — Mrs. Lawson emailed me the specs and a picture she is proposing for her property along Sandy Lake Road. Also she is requesting for the City to let her fence her property along Oak Trail..
