Title

Resolution Accepting Easement for Storm Drainage on Geddes Road from Concordia University (Earhart/Geddes Road Project) (8 Votes Required)

Memorandum

There is a resolution before you to accept a drainage easement for constructing and maintaining storm sewer and public utilities on the north side of Geddes Road from Concordia University, a Michigan non-profit corporation.

This is part of the Earhart Road / Geddes Road project initiated by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) in a partnering effort with the City of Ann Arbor and the Washtenaw County Road Commission to address significant capacity and traffic operational issues in the area. Altogether the project will create a more uniform traffic flow condition that will significantly reduce vehicle delays.

Concordia University, the majority land owner surrounding the project site, has expressed its full support of the proposed improvements.

The easement is in standard form and conveyed without cost to the City.

Acceptance of the easement is recommended.
