Memorandum
There is a resolution before you to accept an easement for water main & other public utilities from the Estate of Lloyd L. Quicksey, Sr,, deceased, by his personal representative Shaya Gardner-Hayum, for a water main replacement project to correct insufficient water pressure along a section of Washtenaw Avenue. The Estate is currently in probate and the Personal Representative has the authority to convey the grant of easement.
An appraisal report is not required when the City acquires an easement for value of less than $10,000 pursuant to Section 1:320(3) of the Ann Arbor City Code. However, a Valuation Statement was prepared by the Project Management Unit of the Public Services Area which placed compensation for the water main easement at $5,823.00 based on a formula developed and approved by the Michigan Department of Transportation ("MDOT"). This project was approved as part of the MDOT Washtenaw Avenue non-motorized pathway project.
The Estate of Lloyd L. Quicksey, Sr, has agreed to accept the valuation and the City's written offer, subject to City Council approval.
The terms and conditions of the grant of easement have been reviewed and approved by the Project Management Unit of the Public Services Area.
