Resolution Accepting Easement for Public Right-of-Way from the Public Schools of the City of Ann Arbor (West Stadium Boulevard (Suffolk to Hutchins) Improvements Project 601 W. Stadium Boulevard - Pioneer High School) (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
There is a resolution before you to accept an easement for public right-of-way from The Public Schools of the City of Ann Arbor, a public body corporate organized and existing under the Michigan Revised School Code, located at the southeast corner of the West Stadium Boulevard and S. Seventh Street intersection in connection with the improvements and reconstruction of West Stadium Boulevard.
The grant of easement will allow the City to replace existing sidewalk, curb, gutter and pedestrian ramps, drive approach and/or driveway to match the new road grades.
A valuation statement prepared by the City calculates the compensation to the AAPS for allowing the City temporary occupation of School property at $10,928.00; however, the AAPS has agreed to forego a cash payment in lieu of the City's agreement to abandon, cut and cap an existing 8-inch water main where it meets with the existing 12-inch water main located in South Seventh Street.
The grant of easement has been reviewed by the Public Services Area of the Project Management Services Unit and found to be acceptable.
Acceptance of the easement is recommended.
