CTRWD needs an easement across your land to construct, operate, control and maintain a sanitary sewer. A copy of the easement needed containing a specific description of the real estate involved in the easement is attached to this offer and made a part hereof. It is our opinion that the fair market value of the land we want to acquire from you is Four Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty Dollars ($4,850.00), and, therefore, CTRWD offers you Four Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty Dollars ($4,850.00) for the above-described easement. You have twenty-five (25) days from this date to accept or reject this offer. If you accept this offer, you may expect payment in full within approximately ninety (90) days after signing the document accepting this offer and executing the easement, provided there are no difficulties in clearing liens or other problems with title to land. Possession of the land must be given no later than thirty (30) days after you have received your payment in full. HERE IS A BRIEF SUMMARY OF YOUR OPTIONS AND LEGALLY PROTECTED RIGHTS: 10701 N. College Ave., Suite A ° Indianapolis, Indiana 46280-1098 Uniform Easement Acquisition Offer March 18, 2004 Page 2 By law, the CTRWD is required to make a good faith effort to purchase an easement across your property. You do not have to accept this offer. However, if you do not accept this offer, and we cannot come to an agreement on the acquisition of your land, CTRWD has the right to file suit in either Boone County or Hamilton County, the County in which the real estate is located, to condemn and appropriate the land. You have the right to seek the advice of an attorney, real estate appraiser or any other person of your choice on this matter. You may object to the public purpose and necessity of this project. If CTRWD files a suit to condemn and appropriate your land, and the court grants its request to condemn, the court will then appoint three (3) appraisers who will make an independent appraisal of the easement to be appropriated. If we both agree with the court appraisers' report, then the matter is settled. However, if either of us disagree with the appraisers' report to the court, either of us has the right to ask for a trial to decide what should be paid to you for the easement condemned. If the court appraisers' report is not accepted by either of us, then CTRWD has the legal option of depositing the amount of the court appraisers' evaluation with the court. If such a deposit is made with the court, CTRWD is legally entitled to immediate possession of the easement. You may, subject to the approval of the court, make withdrawals from the amount deposited with the court. Your withdrawal will in no way affect the proceedings of your case in court, except that, if the final judgment awarded to you is less than the withdrawal you have made from the amount deposited, you will be required to pay back to the court the amount of the withdrawal in excess of the amount of the final judgment. The trial will decide the full amount of damages you are to receive. Both of us will be entitled to present legal evidence supporting our opinions of the fair market value of the land or easement. The court's decision may be more or less than this offer. You may employ, at your cost, appraisers and attorneys to Uniform Easement Acquisition Offer March 18, 2004 Page 3 ,'3 10. represent you at this time or at any time during the course of the proceedings described in this notice.
