Resolution Accepting Easement for Water Main from the Regents of the University of Michigan across University-Owned Arboretum Land (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
There is a resolution before you to accept an easement from the University of Michigan for the construction of a new water main across University-owned Arboretum land for a water main extension, referred to in the Capital Improvement Plan as the Orchard Hills Water Main Extension Project. This new water main is needed as part of that project. The purpose is to provide a looped connection from Orchard Hills Drive to Riverview Court in anticipation or (depending upon timing) in conjunction with water main construction on Riverview Court to improve fire protection and to provide municipal water service to parcels that currently draw their drinking water from wells.
The terms and conditions of the grant of easement have been reviewed and approved by the appropriate city service areas. The easement is conveyed without cost to the City.
Acceptance of the grant of easement is recommended.
