The right-of-way acquisitions for this project include the following: • Total take of a gas station • Eight-Family apartment building • Two single-family residences • A single-family residence which includes a licensed auto body repair shop in a separate building • Two businesses located at the intersection of the expanded roadway and cross street Right-of-way acquisition is scheduled to begin in six months, with a construction letting scheduled one year after r/w acquisition begins. The Agency has completed all interviews except for the business owner of a bar and package store. Your group has received twenty cards listing information that may be relevant to the development of the relocation plan for this project in one of the following categories: Residential interviews (Yellow) • The Smith’s have 6 children; all 8 family members currently live in a 3 bedroom home; they are owner-occupants; low-income and cannot afford higher real estate taxes. • A disabled grandparent may require level entry at the replacement dwelling. • 6 tenants occupy dwellings and receive government rental assistance. • Elderly couple occupies a 5 bedroom, 50 year old house. Business interviews (Pink) • Business disposes of hazardous materials as part of its operation. • Language barrier exists with business owner who speaks little English. • Auto body repair shop has two bays; one with a pit and one with a hydraulic lift – the lift is personal property • Bar and package store will be displaced. Availability of replacement sites (Blue) • Housing Authority says they have no units available for displaced persons receiving government assistance. • There are adequate rental replacement dwellings on the south end of town, which is generally considered less desirable than subject area. • Housing market appears “tight” – especially for 3 and 4 bedroom rentals. • You need to estimate the value of each owner-occupied dwelling to determine if housing of last resort will be needed Concurrent displacements (Salmon) • Proposed second phase of the subject project, possibly two years from now, will displace a large number of tenants • Local airport authority considering runway expansion may affect residential neighborhood area • City has project displacing 20 residences / 3 businesses beginning in 6 months • State is implementing a first-time home buyer program Schedule (Green) • Business with 6 employees will need to build a replacement facility • Phase I environmental studies show that 3 properties need Phase II environmental assessments • Property management section asks for a list of all property owner names and addresses to prepare for demolition • Consultant engineering firm informs DOT they are behind schedule in completing design plans Prioritize the information listed on each card in relation to the relocation plan so that the one your group thinks is the most important to consider when developing a relocation plan for this project will receive a “1” and the least important will receive a “4”. Appoint a spokesperson for the group to explain your group’s reasoning. We will then discuss your reasoning and logic used in prioritizing the items for your relocation plan. Note: Assume the NEPA process is complete.
