1415 N. Bristol Street <br />November 14, 2015 Page 2 <br />If you are not satisfied with the City's offer, you are encouraged to present to us any material you <br />believe to be relevant to the value of the Property, which material will be carefully considered by <br />the City. If, in the City's opinion, the additional information warrants a change in the offer, the City's <br />offer will be adjusted accordingly. If a voluntary agreement cannot be reached, the City may <br />consider formal condemnation proceedings against the Property through its power of eminent <br />domain or abandon its intention to acquire the Property, giving proper notice to you in either event. <br />The City has made no decision to exercise its power of eminent domain to acquire the Property <br />and can only do so after it holds a hearing, at which all affected Property owners have had an <br />opportunity to appear and be heard. <br />The Purchase Price is the full amount established by the appraisal as the fair market value of the <br />Property and the just compensation for such acquisition. A written statement and a summary of the <br />basis for the amount established as the Purchase Price is set forth in the attached Statement of <br />Just Compensation, identified as Attachment 2. <br />The California Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Guidelines provide that each <br />Owner from whom the City purchases real property or an interest therein, or each tenant owning <br />improvements on said Property, be provided with information relating to the acquisition procedures <br />pursuant to the Government Code, Paragraph 7267.2(a). This information is provided in <br />Attachment 3. <br />Please also be advised that under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1263.025, the City of Santa <br />Ana will reimburse an owner of property, up to the amount of $5,000 for the owner to secure an <br />independent appraisal of property subject to a potential acquisition. Per our records you have <br />requested and received the $5,000 amount for preparation of the appraisal report. <br />Please let us know prior to November 30, 2015 if the City's offer is acceptable. A written agreement <br />concerning the acquisition of the Property will be provided to you for your review and approval. <br />If for any reason you should see fit not to accept the City's offer, please be advised that this letter, <br />the offer made herein, the enclosed summary statements, and all matters stated herein are made <br />under the provisions of California Evidence Code § §1152 and 1154 and shall not be admissible in <br />evidence in any eminent domain proceeding which may subsequently be instituted for acquisition <br />of the Property, or in any other action. If you need additional information, please call me at (714) <br />647 -5664. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jason Gabriel <br />Principal Civil Engineer <br />75A -7 <br />
