basic criteria for determination of <br />"uneconomic". Rather, if such parcel <br />would have little or no utility or value <br />to the owner, the parcel is to be con- <br />sidered an "uneconomic remnant". <br />(c) Where there are two or more parcels <br />remaining as a result of the partial <br />acquisition, each parcel is to be con- <br />sidered on its own merits for the de- <br />termination of "uneconomic". Conse- <br />quently, if one of the remaining par- <br />cels is considered to be "economic" to <br />the owner in the after condition, the <br />Sponsor will not be required to offer <br />to acquire such parcel. If the "eco- <br />nomic" parcel is acquired, Federal <br />participation will not be permitted <br />under the existing grant agreement. <br />b. Initiation of Negotiation. The initial offer to <br />purchase the real property will be in the following <br />manner: <br />(1) The Sponsor will make a prompt offer to <br />purchase the property to be acquired. At the <br />first personal contact where price is dis- <br />cussed, the negotiator will offer the property <br />owner, in writing, the established just com- <br />pensation which will not be less than the ap- <br />proved appraisal. This first offer should be <br />within 30 days of the establishment of just <br />compensation. The relocation and acquisi- <br />tion brochure will also be provided at this <br />time. <br />(2) The written offer will be signed, dated, and <br />contain or be accompanied by a written sum- <br />mary statement of the basis for the amount <br />established as just compensation. The sum- <br />mary statement will include, but need not <br />be limited to, those items as stated in sub- <br />paragraph c below. <br />Whenever the taking is revised, a personal <br />contact will likewise be made for the pur- <br />pose of presenting a revised written offer and <br />summary statement to the property owner or <br />to his legal representative. <br />(4) When the fair market value is revised solely <br />on the basis of new appraisal data and the <br />taking is not changed, an additional sum- <br />mary statement is not required but the re- <br />vised offer must be confirmed in writing. <br />(5) Procedures should be established that pro- <br />vide the property owner a reasonable period <br />of time to consider the offer and obtain pro- <br />(3) <br />20 <br />fessional advice or assistance. Normally a 30- <br />day period will suffice. <br />c. Summary Statement of the Basis for Just <br />Compensation. The Sponsor is to furnish to each <br />owner of a separately held compensable interest in <br />the real property to be acquired, a written summary <br />statement of the basis for the amount established <br />as just compensation for such property. The state- <br />ment will be furnished, along with the written offer <br />to purchase, to the owner at the initiation of nego- <br />tiations (the first time price is discussed) and will in- <br />clude the following: <br />(1) An accurate legal description and location <br />identification of the real property and the <br />interest therein to be acquired. <br />(2) An inventory identifying the buildings, <br />structures, fixtures, and other improve- <br />ments, including appurtenant removable <br />building equipment, which are considered <br />to be part of the real property for which the <br />offer of just compensation is made. (For the <br />purpose of defining the real property, any <br />building, structure, fixture, or other im- <br />provement that would be real property if <br />owned by the owner of the land will be <br />considered to be real property notwithstand- <br />ing the right or obligation of a tenant, <br />such as against the owner of any other in- <br />terest in the real property, to remove such <br />improvement at the expiration of his term.) <br />(a) In the case of commercial, indus- <br />trial, institutional, governmental, or <br />farm property, the statement should <br />contain, or include as an attach- <br />ment, a property analysis which <br />shall identify the owner of each item <br />of the inventory which is not owned <br />by the owner of the land. <br />(b) In the case of properties involving <br />any questions as to the ownership <br />or the classification of items as real <br />or personal property, the property <br />analysis should be completed before <br />the appraisals are made. <br />To prevent misunderstanding as to <br />what is considered to be real or per- <br />sonal property, the property analysis <br />may identify the type and approxi- <br />mate quantities of personal property <br />not to be acquired but located on <br />the premises. <br />(c) <br />• <br />• <br />L <br />
