Resolution to Vacate a Public Utilities Easement at 3100 Washtenaw Avenue (Arbor Hills Crossing) (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
There is a resolution before you to vacate a public utilities easement from John Lee Oldsmobile, Inc, a Delaware corporation. On January 25, 1991, John Lee Oldsmobile, Inc recorded an easement granting a permanent easement to the City of Ann Arbor for the construction and maintenance of water mains and appurtenances thereto, storm sewers, and sanitary sewers at 3100 Washtenaw Avenue. This easement was recorded in Liber 2507, Page 794 in Washtenaw County Records.
Vacation of this easement was contemplated as part of the Arbor Hills Crossing development. A new public utilities easement granted by RSW Washtenaw LLC (the developer of Arbor Hills Crossing) and accepted by Council on 8/19/13 supersedes and replaces this old easement. The hydrant and water main that previously occupied this easement have been removed and/or disconnected. City staff have reviewed the circumstances and determined that this easement is no longer necessary and should be vacated.
Vacation of this public utilities easement is recommended.
