The application shall be in writing, and the utility or its successor or assign shall act on the application within 60 days by:   Executing a reconveyance or quitclaim of the easement or property interest upon receipt of compensation not to exceed the amount of the compensation paid by the utility for the easement or property interest at the time of acquisition; or   Paying additional compensation to the owner of the land burdened by the easement or other property interest, such compensation to be calculated by subtracting the price paid by the utility for the easement or other property interest at the time of acquisition from the fair market value of the easement or other property interest at the time this Code section becomes applicable to such easement or other property interest.     The choice between additional compensation or reconveyance or quitclaim shall be at the discretion of the utility or its successor or assign.     (Code 1981, §22-3-162, enacted by Ga.
