State Trust Lands representative says road-encroachment parcel appraisal will cost county roughly $8,402
Summary
Aaron Langston of State Trust Lands told the Kane County Economic Opportunity Board that a 0.83-acre encroachment parcel tied to Red Butte Road appraised at about $7,401.82 plus administrative fees, bringing the purchase to $8,401.82; the sale proceeds now advance to the Trust's board of trustees for final approval.
A representative of the Utah trust lands agency updated the Kane County Economic Opportunity Board on the status of a planned purchase of encroached trust land tied to Red Butte Road.
Aaron Langston, calling into the meeting as the State Trust Lands contact, said the agency’s real-estate committee has forwarded the matter to the full Board of Trustees, which will hear it on Feb. 20. Langston said a MILAR deed with dedication language must be completed and that a governor’s patent is in process; the surveyor assigned to finalize parcels will return to work Feb. 17 and could complete the final mapping after that date.
Langston provided acreage and valuations: the total encroachment across the subdivision measures 1.618 acres; the portion the town plans to acquire is about 0.83 acres (roughly 35,978 square feet), and the pro rata appraised value for that area is $7,401.82. Langston said there will be an administrative fee to cover survey work; combined, the county’s payment for the encroachment would be $8,401.82 under the current appraisal and fee schedule.
Langston said title research is optional and the agency does not require buyers to buy a separate title report; board members discussed whether to pay for additional title work or to accept the agency's standard title handling. Langston also said lot-level admin fees will typically be set at $1,000 per lot for the subdivision copies to cover survey and plat work.
Board members asked whether survey stakes and complete surveys would be provided; Langston said he would confirm whether the engineer's scope of work included setting corners or additional stakes and would return a quote if extra surveying were needed. If no additional survey fee is charged, Langston said the agency would proceed and deliver the documents necessary for transfer.
What’s next: the agency’s Board of Trustees will consider the approval on Feb. 20; if approved and the MILAR is completed, county staff will receive final documents and arrange payment.
