Resolution Accepting Easement for Public Access from TCF Bank (1900 W. Stadium Blvd.) West Stadium Boulevard at Pauline Boulevard Reconstruction (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
There is a resolution before you to accept an easement from TCF Bank, a Michigan banking corporation, for the construction and maintenance of a public access easement at the intersection of Pauline Boulevard and West Stadium Boulevard.
An appraisal report is not required when the City acquires an easement for value of less than $10,000 under 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 public access easement at $6,200.00 based on a formula developed and approved by the Michigan Department of Transportation ("MDOT").
This project will receive federal funds and must meet the right-of-way requirements of MDOT including the offer of compensation for the requested easement.
TCF Bank has agreed to accept 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.
Acceptance of the grant of easement is recommended.
