RE: Manson Road Bridge Reconstruction Project (Sutton Property)
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
The Compensation Commission hearing for this property acquisition was held today. At
issue was the value of the fee interest in the property necessary for the Manson Road
Bridge Reconstruction project, together with permanent and temporary easements.
The City had previously offered the Suttons $4,232 based on our appraisal from
Felderman Appraisals. The Commission found the value of the property to be $4,650.
The property owners had asked for damages in excess of $10,000.
I would recommend that a check be issued to the Dubuque County Sheriff in the
amount of $4,650 to complete the acquisition.
Very sincerely,
Barry Lindahl
Corporation Counsel
