REMARKS (Cont'd): only 30 days from its receipt to accept or reject the City's offer. The 30 days may be waived
and the offer accepted or rejected now or at anytime during this period. It was also indicated that the legally
protected rights and options under Indiana's eminent domain law are set forth on page two of the Uniform Land
or Easement Offer Letter, as well as within the booklet, "ACQUISITION, Acquiring Real Property for Federal and
Federal -Aid Programs and Projects It was explained that typically, the City makes payment within 90 days after
receiving the secured parcel file from the consultant and Indiana law dictates that possession of the property will
transfer to the City thirty (30) days after payment is received. The introductory letter mailed in conjunction with the
offer explained that the project is to improve N. Keystone Parkway, 116 Street, and Carmel Drive. More
specifically, a portion of the land, where the sign is currently situated, is being acquired as permanent (fee simple)
right -of -way. The outdoor advertising sign requires relocation. As explained in the form, "Owner's Private

to call with any questions or to schedule an appointment.
