§261-33  Replacement housing.  (a)  In
addition to any amount authorized herein as part of the cost of construction of
the airport for which land acquisition is initiated, the director shall make a
payment to the owner of real property improved by a single-family, two-family,
or three-family dwelling actually owned and occupied by the owner for not less
than one year prior to the first written offer by the department of
transportation for the acquisition of such property.  Such payment, not to
exceed $5,000, shall be the amount, if any, which when added to the acquisition
payment, equals the average price required for a comparable dwelling
determined, in accordance with standards established by the director to be a
decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling adequate to accommodate the displaced
owner, reasonably accessible to public services and places of employment, and
available on the private market.  Such payment shall be made only to a
displaced owner who purchases and occupies a dwelling within one year subsequent
to the date on which the displaced owner is required to move from the dwelling
acquired for the project.



(b)  In addition to amounts otherwise
authorized by this section and section 261-32, the director shall make a
payment to any individual or family displaced from any dwelling not eligible to
receive a payment under subsection (a) which dwelling was actually and lawfully
occupied by such individual or family for not less than ninety days prior to
the first written offer by the department of transportation for acquisition of
such property.  Such payment, not to exceed $1,500, shall be the amount which
is necessary to enable such person to lease or rent for a period not to exceed
two years, or to make the downpayment on the purchase of a decent, safe, and
sanitary dwelling of standards adequate to accommodate such individual or
family in areas not generally less desirable in regard to public utilities and
public and commercial facilities. [L 1970, c 165, pt of §2; gen ch 1985; am L
