RESPONSES TO FREQUENTLY ASKED REAL ESTATE QUESTIONS

APPRAISAL QUESTIONS

Q1. Will the MTA send an owner a copy of the appraisal of his property?

Upon request, owners of one to three dwelling unit properties are entitled to review MTAappraisals of their property. Please note that in this instance, the appraisal is of asubsurface easement found to have a nominal value and is not an appraisal of the full valueof the property.

Q2. Is Just Compensation based on nominal value or market value?

Just Compensation is the fair market value of any taking by the MTA as determined by anappraisal. The offered amount presented to the property owner will be this amount orhigher, but never less. Nominal value is presumed to exist where there is no perceptibledift~rence in the market value of the entire property, before and after the taking. Inessence, the taking has little or no market value. Since under most circumstances, aproperty owner cannot be expected to convey an interest in property without receivingsome compensation, the appraiser determines a nominal value for the taking that is basedupon his research, analysis and experience. Based on the appraisal, the MTA hasdetermined that this nominal value is considered to be the fair market value of the taking.

Q3. What market information do you have that shows that a permanent subsurfaceeasement for a subway makes no perceptible difference on the market value of theentire residential property?

There is no market information that exist for a situation comparable to the type ofacquisitions involved here; i.e. the acquisition of extremely deep subsurface easements thatrun through rock formation. In this case the appraiser had to reach his opinion of valuebased on conclusions drawn from engineering and environmental studies that (1) thetransit construction and operation will not result in any significant adverse impacts fromnoise or vibration; (2) the tunnel construction and operations will not result in damage existing improvements nor interfere with the current or future highest and best use of theland; (3) ttiere is no difference in the highest and best use before and after the acquisitionand (4) there is no damage to the remainder as a result of the subsurface easement. Theappraiser concluded that the presence of a permanent subsurface easement will not affectthe value of the surface improvements. Market studies that have been performed on landvalues near or adjacent to rail stations have shown that properties that are near railstations have experienced an increase in value.

Q4. Is the nominal value the same for all residential property easements?

The nominal valuation for all "Like" properties is the same. The types of propertyincluded single family residences, multifamily residences, and commercial developments.

Q7.

A.

QS.

Are your appraisals done in-house or by independent appraisers?

The appraisal of the subsurface easements were performed by independent appraisers.

Please identify the company or individuals who performed the appraisals of ourproperties?

All of the subsurface easement appraisals were prepared by Michael Popwell, CGREA, ofMeza and Madrid Development, Inc., and reviewed by independent, fee appraiser, TaylorDark, MAI.

Will granting the easement affect, in any way, the development of my property?

No, the tunnels are so deep, ranging from 150 to 900 feet below grade, that futuredevelopment will not be affected.

In arriving at a nominal value for the easement, were severance damages and/orfuture damages considered?

Yes, the primary function of the appraisal was to determine the fair market value of thesubsurface easements and to estimate the severance damage, if any, to the parentproperties. A remainder property results when subtracting the permanent subsurfaceeasement from the parent property. The appraiser concluded that there was nodifferentiation between the remainder properties’ existing utility or use and that of theparent properties before the taking. The only difference found would be the existence ofthe permanent subsurface easement itself. Consequently, since there would be no damagesto the parent properties, severance and/or future damages were not warranted.

NEGOTIATIONS/ACQUISITION QUESTIONS

Q9.

A.

Will the MTA accept counteroffers? How can counter offers be made?

Th~ MTA will consider counteroffers, particularly if they are accompanied withinformation that would support the amount of the counteroffer. /vlTA will review theinformation submitted and determine whether there is a basis to accept the counteroffer.Any counteroffer should be made in writing to the MTA Director of Real Estate, Velma

C. Marshall.

Q10. What happens if an MTA offer is rejected?

If the MTA offer is rejected and it appears that a settlement cannot be reached, the MTAReal Estate staff will notify the property owner that a public hearing is being scheduledbefore the MTA Board of Directors to consider the adoption of a Resolution of Necessityto acquire the property through the eminent domain process. If the Board adopts theresolution, a condemnation action will be filed with the Superior Court of the County of

Los Angeles. However, the MTA staff will continue to work with property owners toreach a settlement prior to trial.

Qll.

A.

Q12.

What effect, if any, will granting of the easement have upon my mortgage?

This depends upon the language in your mortgage contract. You should review your loandocuments to determine what your lender requires, if any interest in the property isconveyed to a third party. If you have some doubts about this issue, you may wait untilthe MTA has filed a condemnation suit. At your request, the MTA will name themortgagor in the suit and this will protect you from any action by the mortgagor.

In recording the easement deeds at the County Recorder’s Office, does MTA pay forall fees connected with the recording?

A. Yes.

CONSTRUCTION/OPERATIONS RELATED QUESTIONS

QI3. Does granting the easement release the MTA from any responsibility or liabilityfrom damage created, caused or resulting from construction work?

No. If there is any damage to your property as a result of MTA construction, a claimmay be made to the MTA Risk Management Construction Claim Department.

Q14. Will the MTA compensate property owners for all damages to properties and allcosts incurred in seeking recovery?

Any physical damage to your property caused by the construction or operation of theproject should be processed as an insurance claim. If noise or vibration occurs whichunreasonably interferes with the beneficial use of the property, a claim should be made tothe MTA. "If the insurance carrier in the former instance, or the MTA in the latterinstance, concurs in the damage, there will be no cost to you in seeking recovery. If theclaim is disputed, the property owner may bring an action against the MTA. Successfulplaintiffs in such cases usually recover damages and costs.

Q15. Does MTA have an indemnification agreement in place to protect property ownersfrom losses or damages to their property?

A. No. (See responses to Questions 13 and 14 above.

A.

Q17.

Q18.

Q19.

Q20.

Can you assure me that a vent shaft will not be located on my property?

No, not at this time. The construction of the twin tunnels will require the construction ofa mid-line vent shaft and several alternative locations will be studied. Potentially affectedproperty, owners will be notified prior to a decision by the MTA Board on the selected

site.

Are maps available showing the subsurface easement boundaries and maps showingvertical cross sections of the project as it affects individual properties?

A parcel plat map is customarily included with every Offer Letter submitted to a propertyowner. This map shows the boundaries of the easement take area in relationship to theparent property. A Property Identification drawing is available which shows the alignmentof the tunnel through the mountains and a copy is available at this meeting for yourreview. Bulky documents and publications, such as parcel cross-sectional views and theEnvironmental Impact Reports, are available for viewing at the MTA offices located at

818 West 7th Street, Los Angeles.

Will you send out proposed plans for the construction and operation of the Projectwithin the targeted easement areas?

No. Copies of construction plans are available for a fee and may be obtained bycontacting the Records Management Center, ATTN: Judith Butler, 818 West 7th Street,Los Angeles, 90017 (213) 244-7074.

How soon after signing the agreement or easement deed can I expect to receivepayment?

Once the agreement and/or easement deed and related documents has been signed,notarized, and submitted to MTA, a check will be processed and mailed to you in two to

four weeks.

After granting the easement, will MTA’s approval be required for futuredevelopment of the property?

The MTA has the fight to review all building plans that may affect the tunnels. However,with the tunnels at 150 feet to 900 feet below residentially zoned properties, there is anextremely low likelihood that any proposed construction would pose a threat to the safetyof the tunnels.

Dear Bassan & Maryann Mechammil

A meeting was held on Wednesday, May 31, 1995 at theCampo de Cahuenga with property owners affected by thefuture construction of the MTA Metro Red Line tunnel. Wewould like to express our appreciation to the thirty ormore of you who were able to attend.

The MTA cou~L~itted to provide copies of the informationthat was distributed at the meeting to all of theproperty owners. Enclosed is a composite list of thequestions that have been asked regarding the MTAappraisal and acquisition process for the subsurfaceeasements and questions regarding construction andoperation issues. This document was handed out at themeeting.

As you know, the Public Hearing held by the MTA Board onMay 28th was continued for 30 days in order to permit thestaff to meet with property owners regarding the manyissues raised at the meeting. Staff will recommend thatthe Public Hearing be canceled for the June 28thmeetingin order to permit more time to resolve many of the openissues with you.

Responding to the requests made by many of you the MTAproposes to take the following actions:

MTA will proceed to acquire the two most northerlyof the parcels required for the tunnelconstruction. Follow-up will be made to theproperty owners and a public hearing will berescheduled for July 26 for parcels C3-402 and C3-406. These two parcels are needed earlier than theremaining parcels.

The real estate staff will continue to work withthe remaining property owners over the next twomonths to remove as many of their objections toaccepting the MTA offer as possible. Ifnegotiations are unsuccessful, it would then be theintent of staff to again schedule the publichearing.

It was announced at the May 31st meeting that the MTA hasagreed to double its initial offer to property owners asan administrative settlement for the acquisition of thesubsurface easements. We were asked to put this inwriting and this letter is our confirmation of thatoffer.

Also, at the Wednesday night meeting, MTA counsel agreedto prepare a purchase agreement with language which wouldreserve to owners and to their successors specifiedrights with respect to the project, particularly withregard to noise and vibration and other future damageissues. This document along with the MTA SubsurfaceEasement Deed will be sent to property owners as soon asitis available.

A number of questions were asked at the meeting regardingpublic notification and involvement in the planningprocess. In response we are enclosing the "SummaryReport for Reconstruction of Public Participation for theMetro Red Line Project" This report describes thepublic involvement process for the Metro Red LineProject. .

There were also a number of questions about the tunnelsand earthquakes. We are arranging to have a seismicexpert from the California Institute of Technologyaddress the next meeting of the Metro Red Line NorthHollywood Extension Citizen’s Committee. When thearrangements have been completed we will send you aninvitation to attend.

If you have additional requests, or would like toschedule a meeting to discuss MTA’s offer to purchase asubsurface easement, please feel free to contact Mr. JohnFurby, Senior Real Estate Officer at (213) 244-6722 Mr. James Wiley, Manager of Acquisition Services at (213)244-6404.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This summary report was prepared for the Los Angeles County MetropolitanTransportation Authority/Rail Construction Corporation (MTA/RCC) underContract Number EN025, Contract Work Order 005. The purpose of this reportwas to develop a record of the public involvement process for the entire Metro RedLine Project from 1986 to 1989.

The public awareness and involvement process for the Metro Red Line Project wasdocumented and included the following activities:

¯ Special meetings held at various locations;

Newspapers publications, Metro News Bulletin and RTD Transit Reader forall the public hearings held and minutes taken, including testimonies ofspeakers and attendants from those meetings;

¯ Letters and comments from private individuals and organizations;

¯ Signed petitions from the public in favor of a subway route throughHollywood Boulevard; ......

¯ Certificates of transmission and delivery for the project documents to privatecitizens and Federal and Local Agencies; and

¯ Distribution lists for the project documents to Federal, State, and Local

Agencies.

The reviewed documents are summarized in the attached spreadsheet (seeAttachment 1). These documents are available at RCC Environmental Compliance.Additional information regarding this report can be obtained from Mr. Jim Sowell,Mana~;er of Environmental Compliance, at (213) 244-6730.

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION (CANDIDATE ALIGNMENT 1 - MODIFIED)

The MTA/RCC is constructing a 17.3 mile Metro Red Line subway system. TheRed Line consists of 3 segments. Segment 1, which extends from Union Station toWestlake/MacArthur Park, has been constructed and is currently in operation.Segment 2 is divided into two alignments: the Wilshire Corridor alignment and theVermont/Hollywood alignment. The Wilshire Corridor alignment begins on

4.0 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

During the development of this Project, public involvement was encouraged. Aseries of community meetings were held between January 1986 and June 1986.These meetings were held for the Vermont Corridor, Western Avenue Corridor,Fairfax Corridor, Olympic-Pico Corridor, Wilshire Corridor, and HollywoodCorridor (see Attachment 1 for the times and locations). In compliance with theCongressional mandate, and to identify and study candidate alignments that wouldavoid tunneling through any portion of the risk zones identified in the Task ForceReport, SCRTD established the Congressional Ordered Re-Engineering (CORE)Study. The "Task Force Report on the March 24, 1985, Methane Gas Explosion andFire In The Fairfax Area", dated June 10, 1985, identified specific zones wheresubsurface conditions indicated a "potential risk" or "potential high-risk" ofencountering methane gas during subsurface excavations (See Figure 2-3).Accordingly, public input was solicited and received for the CORE Study through aseries of community meetings; public hearings and open committee meetings of theRTD Board of Directors; and briefings with elected officials, business andcommunity organizations and public agencies. SCRTD also established the COREForum to encourage elected officials, entrepreneurs, and community leaders toparticipate in the review process and to comment on the preferred routes andmodes for the realignment of the Metro Rail project. TheCORE Forum had 137members (see Attachment 2) and they met four times (see Attachment 1 for

times and locations).

On February 20, 1987, the public was notified of the completion of the Draft SEIR.Copies of DSEIR were mailed to private individuals, Federal and Local Agencies,and public and major universities libraries within the CORE Study area. RTD helda public hearing on the DSEIR. Letters, comments and questions were receivedfrom the public throughout this period. On April 24, 1987, the SCRTD Board ofDirectors adopted Candidate Alignment 4 (Vermont/Sunset) as the LocallyPreferred Alter~native (LPA). That decision drew major opposition from thebroadcasting industries along Sunset Boulevard. Their major concern was theimpact of noise, vibration and electromagnetic interference on their studios.

On July 13, 1987, the public was notified of the completion ~f a Supplemental EISon Alternative Alignments developed to avoid tunneling under the methane gas risk

zones. Written public comments and responses were received during a 30-daycomment period which closed on August 17, 1987.

On October 1987, the City Council authorized the establishment of an IndependentTechnical Review Panel, comprised of four highly qualified professionals. Mr.

Page 16: June 13, 1995 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Metropolitan Transportationboardarchives.metro.net/BoardBox/Box02/00000502.pdf · Real Estate staff will notify the property owner that a public hearing

Frederick Llewellyn chaired the Panel. The other members were Mr. Carl Hanson,Mr. Mas Hatano, and Mr. Ralph Trefney. The Panel was established in order toassure a thorough and independent review of both the SCRTD findings and studioconcerns regarding the potential noise, vibration and electromagnetic interferenceimpacts on the operation of recording and broadcasting studios on Sunset

Boulevard. The Panel met three times (see Attachment 1 for times and locations).They conducted meetings in a public setting and all parties were afforded the fullopportunity to testify and to provide information relevant to its charges. Thefindings of the Independent Technical Review Panel were presented to theTransportation and Traffic Committee of the Los Angles City Council on November

13, 1987.

On November 17, 1987, the Draft SEIS/SEIR was made available to the public anda public hearing was scheduled for December 18, 1987. Public comments andresponses were received until January 2, 1988.

On December 17, 1987, the comment period for the Draft SEIS/SEIR was extendedfrom January 2 1988 to January 27, 1988 in order to allow more time for publicinput. On January 28, 1988, in addition to the other five candidate alignments theBoard authorized consideration of Candidate Alignment 6 to mitigate the impact ofthe Sunset Boulevard alignment on broadcasters. On May 20, 1988, an Addendumto the Draft SEIS/SEIR was made available to the publiiz’and a public hearing wasscheduled for Tuesday, June 21, 1988. Following the public hearing on June 21,1988, the City Planning Commission adopted Candidate Alignment 1 - Modified asthe new LPA and on July 14, 1988, the SCRTD Board also adopted CandidateAlignment 1 - Modified as the new LPA for inclusion in the Final SEIS/SEIR. TheFinal SEIS/SEIR was made available to the public in July 1989.
