Committee recommends three parcels with flowage easement (about 9 acres) be entered into excess‑lands; asking price stated as $40,000
Summary
Justin told the committee three parcels (OIN 9403, 9404 and 9411), totaling about 9 acres and encumbered by a flowage easement, should be entered into the excess‑lands program. Staff stated an overall asking price of $40,000; the committee voted to recommend the item to the Diversion Authority.
Justin presented the three parcels grouped as OIN 9403, 9404 and 9411, located in the upstream mitigation area just south of the embankment. He told the committee the property is encumbered by a flowage easement and that the parcels total roughly 9 acres.
During his presentation Justin stated a proposed asking price and corrected his initial figure on the record: after a brief verbal misstatement he said an asking price of "$40,000 overall." The chair then called for a motion to recommend the parcels be entered into the excess‑lands program and the committee approved the recommendation by roll call.
Why it matters: Because these parcels are encumbered by flowage easements, purchasers would take property subject to those easement limitations, which can affect land use. Justin emphasized the flowage‑easement encumbrance when describing valuation and marketability. The committee did not attach additional conditions at the meeting; the recommendation now goes to the Diversion Authority for final action.
The committee will forward the recommendation to the Diversion Authority; any sale would proceed under the authority’s standard procedures and subject to the existing easement encumbrance.
