<br />Quest ion:
<br />
<br />How much would I be paid for having an easement imposed upon my property?
<br />
<br />We cannot advise you exactly until an easement has been put together
<br />for your particular property. Hopefully, through negotiation, the case-
<br />ment provisions would be satisfactory to both you and the United St3tes.
<br />
<br />Easen:enLs moy vary froC! property to property. No t\JO properties are
<br />exactly alike; no two properties have the same influence on the river
<br />and its irr.:aediate environf'lent, and no two landowners have similar desires
<br />with respect to development of their land. Therefore, there could be no
<br />standard casement paywent per acre or per property.
<br />
<br />If your property is \Jell suited for subdivision and the easement pro-
<br />hibits or restricts su"division, your easement payment ,,'ould be sub-
<br />stantial. On the other hand. if your property is suited only for its
<br />current use and the eaSQ~ent nllo~s concl~~~~ce at current uset your
<br />easement payment would be minir.1al.
<br />
<br />The easements pllrchased along the Clearwater River covered parcel3 of
<br />land throu{;houc the rivEor syste;1\. The average size of easerr,ents pur-
<br />chased was 44 acres, with a size range from 1/2 acre to 176 &cres. E~se-
<br />ment payments averaGed $!,79 per acre. Total eqsec,,,,nt value pa)'"ler,ts
<br />ran3ed [rom a low of $700 to a high of $60,300.
<br />
<br />Easement value w""ld depend on property rights purchased from you a~d
<br />the market value of these rights. Pa)'T'lents \,}ould be "one time - lunl' i'ur,"
<br />based on the market value at the time the easeo:ent is negotiated.
<br />
<br />Question:
<br />
<br />l-.'ho ,,'ould estilOate the value of the easement \Jhich \lOuld be imposed on
<br />my property?
<br />
<br />/i ~....., -<, I-
<br />The Fo-rest-Se:r"ice would either use their staff of real estate apprais-
<br />ers or issue a contract to an independent fee. appr3.iser to appraise
<br />the value of the easeDent being impesed on }'ocr property. Your pr0perty
<br />would actually be "ppraised t'-lice. nle appraiser \Jould first esti',oate
<br />the value of your propc;.rty in its present or lIbeforell condition, \"lithout
<br />an easement. He would then apprai3e your praperty' under the assul'1pti,on
<br />that all the conditions and restrictions of the ease~ents have been im-
<br />posed on your property. The difference ben'een the t\-JO appl'aisal~, \,:ould'
<br />be the ~~-?. c2nd \.,Iould be" the market value of the Ilproperty rightsl'
<br />the government ,,'ould be acquiring in the easements. You, the lando'.-lne-.-:,
<br />would be paid the value of the eJsement on the property righ'ts you convey.
