County staff determined that the western 47 feet of the parent tract is eligible for a private sale to the sole adjoining property owner. The Property Appraiser valued the sale property at $16,163.00. As a condition of the sale, Public Works requires the retention of a utility and drainage easement along the south 10 feet of the property. Closing to occur within 90 days after contract execution.
