TANEY COUNTY COMMISSION RECORD
JUNE 29, 2007 THE 33RD DAY OF
THE APRIL ADJOURN TERM
The County Commission met in the County Commission Office at 3:00 p.m. pursuant to
adjourn with Chuck Pennel, Presiding and Ron Herschend, Western District present. Danny
Strahan, Eastern District was absent. The following proceedings were had and made a matter of
record.
Note: The Commission called an emergency meeting due to a time constraint issue with
MoDOT.
EAST HWY 76 RIGHT-OF-WAY
Commissioner Herschend made a motion to offer Mr. & Mrs. Haynie, regarding the right
of way, $5,700.00 for .2 of an acre and added that this offer is good through July 2, 2007.
Commissioner Pennel seconded the motion. The motion passed by a vote of two: Pennel (yea),
Herschend (yea), Strahan (yea).
Note: The Commission sent the following letter to The Haynie’s in regards to this issue.
Dear Mr. Haynie:
As you are already aware, Taney County has stepped up to the plate to assist MODot with its safety improvements to
East Highway 76 near its intersection with VV Highway. Motor vehicle accidents are a regular occurrence at this intersection
often times resulting in serious injury. It is important to the citizens of Taney County that the improvements be made as soon as
possible.
MODot may decide to make the improvements, perhaps as early as next spring. However, the plan to make the
improvements this summer will not occur unless the county participates. MODot’s usual practice is to pay for right-of-way. The
property needed from you for the improvements amounts to .2 (1/5) of an acre. After checking with MODot and its study of
comparables, it is the Commission’s opinion that property similarly situated to yours is worth $8,567.00 per acre, making the .2
acres worth approximately $1,700.00.
It is possible that because the property is located completely within the required setback it is actually worth
considerably less than $l, 700.00. If Taney County cannot reach agreement with you by Monday, July 2, 2007 at 12:00 noon, the
County will be withdrawing all offers and you may be dealing with MODot next Spring. Our understanding is that MODot’s
usual practice is to offer market value, and if not accepted it resorts to condemnation.
It is important that you are made aware that the East Highway 76 right-of-way issue cannot be tied to the sewer line
issue. The Taney County Regional Sewer District is a separate body politic and the Taney County Commission cannot dictate
that the District ‘vote to make you any certain offer. Furthermore, the Sewer District Board does not meet again until Tuesday,
July 3, 2007 at 1:30PM, and we have a “drop dead” date of Monday July 2, 2007.
Taney County will agree to pay you $5,700.00 in return for your execution of all required documents conveying the
right-of-way to MODot for the necessary improvements to East Highway 76. Taney County can justify this figure because it is
the fair market value plus what the County figures would be the most it would cost to go through condemnation.
We look forward to hearing from you by Monday, July 2, 2007. All offers not accepted by noontime on Monday will
be withdrawn.
