SECTION 6-3-1
LAND ACQUISITION, DISPLACEMENT, AND
RELOCATION
This section identifies the anticipated acquisition of real property required to implement the I-81
Viaduct Project and assesses the potential effects associated with displacement of residents,
businesses, and other uses.
Anticipated acquisitions include:
Full and Partial Acquisitions: These would occur when all or a portion of a tax parcel is transferred
from existing ownership to transportation right-of-way, pursuant to applicable State and Federal
regulations, thereby dissolving its current ownership and potentially requiring relocation of the
existing use.
Temporary and Permanent Easements: Temporary easements acquire the use or control of a piece
of property for specific use(s) during a construction project for a set or limited duration of time
(usually the length of the construction contract). The owner is compensated for their
inconvenience, loss of value, or loss of access on the temporary easement. A permanent easement
is the acquisition of certain rights and interest to use or control a property for a designated
purpose. In most cases, the property owner retains the use of the property for other functions that
do not interfere with the purpose of the easement.
A Federally funded project must adhere to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice
(USPAP) and Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as
codified in 42 USC Sections 4601 et seq., and the applicable implementing regulations set forth in 49
CFR Part 24 (collectively, “the Uniform Act”). The Uniform Act protects the rights of property
owners and tenants of the property that is acquired in order to implement the Project. It intends to
ensure that individuals do not suffer disproportionate injuries because of programs and projects
designed for the benefit of the public as a whole, and to minimize the hardship of displacement on
such persons. In New York, acquisition of real property must also adhere to the New York State
Eminent Domain Procedures Law (EDPL), which seeks to establish the exclusive procedure by which
property is acquired in New York State, ensure just compensation is paid, and establish opportunities
for public participation in the planning of projects necessitating the exercise of eminent domain.
6-3-1.1 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT
As described in Section 6-1, Introduction, the four study areas for the Project are the Central Study
Area, I-481 South Study Area, I-481 East Study Area, and I-481 North Study Area (see Figure 6-1-1).
6-3-1.1.1 METHODOLOGY
The limits of disturbance for each alternative were used to identify those properties for which land
acquisition or easements would be required for the construction and/or operation of the Viaduct or
the Community Grid Alternatives. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) databases obtained from
the City of Syracuse, Onondaga County, and the State of New York were used to identify and
graphically depict the affected parcels (as shown in Figures 6-3-1-1a through
6-3-1-1d and Figures 6-3-1-2a through 6-3-1-2g) and to obtain available parcel-level data, such as
parcel square footage and area of parcel to be acquired. In addition, tax assessment and rate data were

obtained from Onondaga County. Combined, the datasets provide ownership, use, assessed values,
and taxes for each property.
When it is considering a property acquisition, NYSDOT completes a series of procedures to classify
the property. NYSDOT procedures include appraisals of each property to be acquired to determine
the cost and income, sale comparable approach, and its fair market value and the monetary damages,
if any, to the remaining property. Appraisals are prepared in conformance with USPAP and the
Uniform Act. For this project, licensed appraisers will be used. An offer of compensation from
NYSDOT is based on the appraisals, which are reviewed for accuracy and content. The law requires
the State to pay each property owner the fair market value, which the State determines by the amount
of money, or sale price, of comparable properties under current market conditions. Value is
determined as of the date New York State acquires the property.
When only a portion of a property is acquired, NYSDOT determines compensation by assessing the
difference in overall market value between a parcel’s current state, before acquisition, and post-
acquisition state. NYSDOT attempts to ensure that there is no depreciation, or minimal depreciation,
in the value of the remainder of the property. However, if the acquisition of a portion of the property
diminishes the remaining utility (e.g., the acquisition results in an irregularly shaped, too small, or
isolated property), the State's valuation will reflect the loss of this value as well as the value of the land
and structures actually acquired if NYSDOT concludes that the taking would leave an uneconomic
remainder. In such instances, the property owner gets the option to sell the remnant to the State. If
the partial acquisition of a property requires the demolition of buildings under temporary easements,
the State’s valuation will reflect the loss of these impacts, but the property ownership will remain with
the ability to rebuild after construction. However, if the acquisition is 50 percent of the property or
more, or the remaining parcel has diminished utility or opportunity for rebuilding, NYSDOT will take
the parcel in full.
If NYSDOT and the property owner cannot reach an agreement on the value of a property to be
taken, the property owner is permitted to file a claim in the New York State Court of Claims. If the
property owner and the State do not agree on the value, the property would be acquired through the
process of eminent domain. While the filing of claims is subject to a time limitation, the property
owner has at least three years from the date of formal acquisition notification. If a claim is filed,
NYSDOT and the property owner can negotiate and settle, or a trial will be held before the Court to
adjudicate the claim.
The assessment of potential effects associated with the acquisition of property accounts for the
location and type of property to be acquired and is based primarily on the type of acquisition
anticipated:
Full acquisition would displace current owners or resident tenants and any businesses on a site,
resulting in a permanent displacement effect.
Partial acquisitions and permanent or temporary easements are assessed to determine functional
viability of the remainder of the property in order to determine the scale and extent of the potential
displacement effect.
In addition, the effect assessment includes an analysis of the likely change and reduction of property
taxes that would accrue to all affected levels of jurisdiction (village, town, school district, and county).
The assessment is based on the loss of some or all of an existing tax parcel’s assessed value or on a

change in tax exemption status that may occur as a result of NYSDOT’s full or partial acquisition of
the property.
6-3-1.1.2 AFFECTED PROPERTIES
As shown in Figures 6-3-1-1 and 6-3-1-2, 202 total properties within Onondaga County would be
fully or partially acquired for either or both the Viaduct and Community Grid Alternatives. Most of
these properties are located in the City of Syracuse (187 properties), eight are in the Town of DeWitt,
and seven are in the Town of Cicero.
6-3-1.2 NO BUILD ALTERNATIVE
The No Build Alternative would maintain the highway in its existing configuration with ongoing
maintenance and repairs to ensure the safety of the traveling public. The No Build Alternative would
not require land acquisition.
6-3-1.3 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE VIADUCT ALTERNATIVE
6-3-1.3.1 PERMANENT/OPERATIONAL IMPACTS
The Viaduct Alternative would result in the full or partial acquisition of 119 parcels. In the Central
Study Area, the Viaduct Alternative would acquire 118 parcels (21.74 acres), which include 87
properties that would be partially acquired and 31 properties that would be acquired in full. The
Viaduct Alternative would partially acquire one parcel (0.07 acres) in the I-481 North Study Area.
There would be no acquisitions in the I-481 South or I-481 East Study Areas.
Table 6-3-1-1 summarizes the type and extent of the identified property acquisitions. The affected
properties are shown in Figures 6-3-1-1a through 6-3-1-1d. Of the 119 parcels, the land that would
be partially or fully acquired for the alternative includes 35 vacant lots (including three with billboards);
18 surface parking lots; one parking garage; 23 pro
