David Fine said he will speak to the condemnation resolution
for the Cgraggen property during the day’s BOCC Business
Meeting. He said Public Works will continue to attempt to
negotiate with the property owner. He said a condemnation
process generally would last 10 months. He said the process
would have to start by late May to meet the needs of the
project timeline.
Erik Martin indicated he would like to address the following
questions during the Business Meeting:
• Why is the land necessary for the project?
• When would the land acquisition become final
(timeframe)?
• How is the price of the land decided?
• What options do the property owners have?
• How did the county get to this point?
Erik said Public Works has indicated it would replace the property owner’s fence and gate.
Tim Fife said the property measures 114.99 acres. He said the county is looking to acquire 0.51 acres and
to have a temporary easement of 0.04 acres.

Commissioner Stamper discussed an archaeological study required for a mother-in-law structure in
Toledo. Commissioner Stamper said the study is a huge roadblock. He said the people have lived there
80 years and have built in the past without problems. Tim said the state sets the archaeological study
requirements. Erik said the county’s Critical Areas ordinance includes references to cultural resources,
requiring Community Development to include that on its checklist.
Commissioner Fund asked to have the archaeological study added to Community Development’s
upcoming agenda.
