TDOT offers $20,000 for Central Pike right-of-way; county approves transfer
Summary
Tennessee Department of Transportation offered $20,000 to purchase fee simple right-of-way and temporary easements on Central Pike; the committee authorized staff to proceed with the offer and the county accepted the payment terms discussed.
The committee reviewed a Tennessee Department of Transportation offer to acquire right-of-way on Central Pike in front of Station 10 and approved staff to proceed with the transaction as presented.
Staff described three area designations on the map provided: a fee-simple parcel (red), slope easement (green) and temporary construction easement (yellow). The fee-simple area covered 581 square feet, the slope easements totaled about 1,398 square feet, and the temporary construction easement covered roughly 8,059 square feet; TDOT’s packet included a payment totaling $8,470 for certain frontage and pavement impacts and a separate payment of $20,000 for the fee-simple portion, which staff listed as the offered amount for that land. Staff told members they could counter the offer or hire an appraiser; committee members moved and seconded a motion to accept the paperwork and approved it by voice vote.
Members asked about potential impacts to emergency operations and drainage; staff said construction would not reduce lane capacity and noted prior pavement issues in the area that TDOT intends to fix as part of the project. Staff recommended acceptance or appraisal depending on the commissioners’ preference and the committee approved moving forward.
