Questions vert raised concerning the Postal Servicers
selection and acquisition of a site for a new Fost office in
Euclid, Ohio. Allegations concerned overpriced land, isujoFer
acquisition procedures, and undesirability of the Iccaticn. The
majority of the allegations were based on inadequate data or a
lack of familiarity with Postal Service policias and procedures.
The Service followed estaulished procedures in selecting the
site for the facility; it made an adequate effcrt to identify
all possible sites within the desired area aDd appeared to have
selected the best site available. Although the original cost of
the land to the seller was difficult to determine, the price the
Service paid was reasonable. Requested zoning changes and
unannounced purchase agreements were in accord Yitb Service
policy. It is unclear what impact, if any, the rezoning may have
had on the price. The site is desirable from operational
standards, is near major shopping areas, and is easily
accessible to the public. However, high accident rates in the
area may be an undesirable feature ot the location. Beca6se of
the questions raised, the Postal Service agreed to consider
possible alternatives. Two alternative sites were evaluated, but
neither was acceptable because of extensive renovations required
and the triangular configuration of the land. (RES)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaaxuc0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
