Title
Resolution Accepting Easement for Stormwater Drainage Facilities at 3500 Fox Hunt Drive from Robert A. Young and Andrea G. Jensen (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
There is a resolution before you to accept an easement from Robert A. Young and Andrea G. Jensen, husband and wife, for stormwater drainage facilities and to approve payment for that easement.
 
The stormwater drainage facilities were installed in the 1980s.  However, it recently came to the City's attention that stormwater facilities were installed near but not within any easement; an easement on an adjacent property likely was intended to be used for those facilities.  This easement is required for the City to be able to continue to use the property for the stormwater drainage facilities, and to be able to access the facilities for inspection, maintenance and repair activities.
 
The easement has been reviewed by the required City service areas. The easement is in standard form and is conveyed to the City at a cost of $60,000.00, based on the appraised value of the easement that the City obtained.  
 
Approval of the easement is recommended.
