The Lone Tree Overpass project requires the City to acquire 27 square feet of land for right-of-way and a 1,134 square foot temporary construction easement from a property located at 602 East Butler Rd. Flagstaff, Arizona, 86001. The land is also known as parcel no. 104-04-008A by the Coconino County Assessor.

The property owner is willing to sell the property interests to the City. However, due to existing tax liens on the property, a condemnation proceeding is necessary in order for the City to obtain clear title to the required property interests. This resolution authorizes the City to file a condemnation proceeding for the property interests.

The just compensation to be paid for the property interests is $4,655.00, based on the City's appraisal. The City will incur additional expense as a result of filing a condemnation proceeding. The acquisitions will be funded by the Lone Tree Overpass Project Capital Improvements (Account No. 047-10-112-3054-6-4421)
