occupancy of improved property for a mutually agreeable number
of years or for the remainder of their lives, vhich would permit
then to obtain a portion of their money for the property vhile
continuing to enjoy its use. A_lso, this guideline permits quick
action to be taken to relieve hardships vhich would force the
sale of these properties into hands that could considerably impede
park administration. P
c
In all cases negotiations for acquisition of inholdings by the
Federal Government .shall be on the basis of competent appraisals
of fair market value, and the following three items will also
generally be observed:
1. The Service will welcome offers from the owners to sell private
properties to the United States, and it is hoped that the owners
will give the Service first opportunity to purchase them. If
an owner wishes to sell his property outright, the Service would
be glad to negotiate on that basis; or, in the alternative, on
such other basis as may be authorized in the applicable legislation
relating to the retention of use and occupancy rights by the owner
for a given number of years or for the- remainder of his life and
that of his spouse.
2. The Service will not seek to acquire private lands without
the"consent of the owner, so long as the lands continue to be
devoted to its present use. Substantial expansion of present uses
will be considered an incompatible act. This also applies to
any future owners of the property so long as the properties continue
to be used for the same purposes.
3. If existing incompatible uses persist, or if present compatible
uses of property are to be changed, and the properties are to
be devoted to new and different uses not compatible with the primary
purpose for vhich the area was established or if the present uses
are materially expanded the Service will attempt to negotiate with
the owner for tbe acquisition of the property in order to eliminate
a use cr avoid development of a use adverse to the management of
the area. . ■ .
In the event all reasonable efforts at negotiation fail, and the owner
persists in his efforts to devote the property to a use deemed bv,
"the Service to be adverse to the primary purpose for which the
area was established, the United States may institute eminent domain
proceedings to acquire the property.,
DONATIONS AND EXCHANGES
In areas of the System which have no authority for purchase with
appropriated funds, donations of land within the authorized boundary
will be solicited and equal land value exchanges under the authority
of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act, as amended, will be
pursued within the authorized boundary for purposes of improved
park management.
