Resolution to Release a Portion of Existing Water Main Easement and Accept in its Place a New Easement for Public Utilities at 982 Broadway from DTE Electric Company (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
In 2000, City Council accepted a grant of easement from DTE for water main and sanitary sewer at 982 Broadway. City staff determined that a new easement was necessary to extend the existing water main. The new public utilties easement is intended to supersede and replace the water main portion of the prior easement. The sanitary sewer portion of the prior easement will remain in place.
This easement is in standard form and is conveyed without cost to the City.
Release of the water main portion of the existing easement and acceptance of the new public utilities easement is recommended.
