• Two reviews:– Initial Evaluation when Right of Way Tracings are

accepted by the District. Depending on the project size an interim evaluation may be done.

– Secondary Post – Acquisition Evaluation completed by the acquiring agency. This evaluation can only lower the initial score not raise it.

The Power Of Eminent Domain Is Immense

• There is a blatant public dislike of eminent domain• Agencies are often perceived as abusing their

power when using it• Governmental Agencies Must:

– Deal honestly and with empathy

5th Amendment U.S. Constitution “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or

otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb, nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, Without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.”

Eminent Domain OverviewUniform Act passed by US Congress 1/2/71. The law is called

the Uniform Relocation and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act.

Code of Federal Regulations 49 CFR 24. subpart B for Real Property Acquisition and Part C for General Relocation Requirements.

The codes amplify the Uniform Act and give more direction to an agency for carrying out the law.

State Governments must establish lead agencies. ORC 163.01 – 163.62 Ohio Administrative Code create State

law and policy. And the Governor named ODOT to be the lead agency.

Section 19, Article I, Ohio Constitution“…When taken … for the purpose of making or repairing

roads, which shall be open to the public, without charge, a compensation shall be made to the owner, in money…”

What does all this have to do with me and this class?

• A clear policy and procedure is in place for ODOT projects from inception to project completion.

• This P&P includes the preparation of r/w plans. • When r/w is needed your plan becomes the foundation to

which the acquisition process is built. Eminent domain may be used to conclude the process.

• The accuracy and concept of the plan cannot be flawed or the process may fail.

• As eminent domain remains a focal public issue the need for the accuracy of the plan and concept is amplified.

What causes us to change plans

• Survey error historical or by consultant error• Topo error/missing, items added after 1st survey • Construction design error requiring revision• FED/ODOT design criteria change• Owner/ODOT negotiated change• Court ordered change or as a result of settlement• Construction contractor desire/error• Constructability issues may be an error

Common Errors/Omissions on R/W PlansCOMMON ERRORS/OMISSIONS ON R/W PLANS

1. Topography is often outdated or not properly depicted - needs to be updated just before final

tracing submission. 2. Septic and leach lines that could possibly be affected by the project need to be shown on the

final plans. The consultant should talk to the property owner or occupant about these and other underground or hidden amenities such as wells, private water lines, security systems, etc.

3. Show all structures within 100 feet, in their proper location, with a distance to the proposed

right of way line. 4. Trees- show correct location and describe individually those that are not part of casual

growth and that add intrinsic value. 5. All items inside temporary takes but outside construction limits should be labeled “Take” or

“Do Not Disturb”. 6. Structures near a take should be marked “Do Not Disturb” and described - i.e. 1-story

commercial- with addresses shown. 7. Show all existing field drives. Replace as necessary. 8. Show all fences and gates in their proper location and describe them as to type. 9. The starting/commencing point and lead-in of legal descriptions needs to be shown on plan. 10. Metes and bounds on plans should match metes and bounds on legal. 11. Do not create encroachments by marking items “Do Not Disturb” in new permanent right of

way. 12. Be certain that all topography on right of way sheets agrees with topo on construction

plan/profile sheets, especially take/save items. 13. Current owner info is often outdated. Update per scope and Right of Way Attachment. 14. Existing private/utility easements not shown. Recording data and area overlaps to be on

Summary and/or Detail sheets. 15. Legals don’t meet County recording standards- i.e. auditors parcel splits, lead-ins,

commencing/beginning points, etc.

How soon do you need them?

• In most if not all cases ASAP• Changes/corrections will require rework of many

documents.• Delivery of those documents may hold up a closing or

appropriation filing, hence a project clearance, hence utility relocation

• Which effect sale date, funding, and may effect environmental issues within the plan, and may well delay completion for another year… over just a few day delay in plan delivery….. Caused by a mistake or a negotiated settlement.

Error by not confirming existing R/W

• Used old 1952 plan for right of way• Assumed 1952 r/w was acquired by deed• Used ODOT 42 year root title as “enough”• Did not confirm types of record transfer• Owners object to ODOT assumed property line• Plans show no PRO• Plans must be corrected• Acquisition on hold, will require corrections

Pine Street revision created during pre appropriation meetings with the owner. This required the consultant to create a new r/w plan sheet along with construction

plan changes in a matter of a few weeks. Consultant will be paid for revisions.

Your plans are the foundation

• Errors will cost time and money. Both the agency and your company/insurance

• Topography missed may lead to revision, under compensation and appropriation

• Your plans may be the next case reviewed by the court system…. Getter’ done, right!
