A RESOLUTION: AUTHORIZING TOWN ATTORNEYS TO FILE A PETITION FOR
CONDE1VfNATION TO ACQLYIRE AN AVIGATION EASEMENT FOR THE
SOUTH RUNWAY EXTENSION AT THE LEESBURG MUNICI~AL AIRPORT
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 88-199 authorized condemnation proceedings to acquire an avigation
easement for the airport's runway extension; and
WHEREAS, clear title has been acquired for a portion of the property by Kenneth F.
McKeeban; and
WHEREAS, authorization to condemn the other portion is required; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Leesburg Ires determined that certain avigation easements are
required for the efficient operation of the Leesburg Municipal Airport; and
WHEREAS, one of the easements affects the land standing in the name of Mark Eaton,
Trustee, but the title examination raises serious questions of ownership and whether Mark Eaton,
trustee, has good title thereto; and
WHE~, since there is no one who can convey clear title to the easement, a bona fide offer
would be fruitless.

The Council hereby declares that an essential public convenience and necessity exists requiring
entry upon the property prior to the determination and deposit of the amount of just compensation,
and does hereby authorize the town attorney to fde the requisite petition for condemnation and early
