Page 2: Gerald Takase Apri122, 2004 5. Upon completion of the appraisal an offer letter is sent to the respective landowner which includes the following documents: A. The amount of the offer based on the appraisal. B. Parcel or easements maps showing the taking and remainder lot. C. An appraisal summary statement. D. A "Statement of Just Compensation". E. Landscape valuation estimates (if applicable). F. List of improvements and value estimates (if applicable). G. A copy of "Negotiation Policies and Payments Statement" of the County of Hawaii -DPW. H. A FHWA brochure entitled: "Acquiring Real Property for Federal and Federal- Aid Programs and Projects". I. A letter of acceptance form. J. A list of all property owners affected by the project. K. The owner provided the opportunity to hire his(her appraiser if they are not satisfied with the values involved. 6. The negotiation process generally may last from a few days to several months. Each claim or alternative offer made by the respective owner has to be evaluated and verified. 7. In some cases, due to funding deadline or if negotiations aze at an impasse, condemnation is pursued. The affected owners aze notified of the proceedings in advance and told, if an agreement had been reached, that the condemnation will not affect any previous commitments. Generally, the processes we follow are based on the Federal rules which are in concert with the County's Real Estate Acquisition Guide and expanded as well. There has to be some flexibility in the guidelines in order to deal with unusual cases, where for example, the owner cannot be located or fails to respond. I hope this addresses the concerns of the Council. Should you have any questions please contact me. Thank~'ou. ~t--~- AlInoue Land Agent cc: Ben Ishii
