Resolution Accepting Easement for Public Utilities from Williamsburg Properties, a Michigan Co-Partnership (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
There is a resolution before you to accept an easement for Public Utilities from Williamsburg Properties, a Michigan co-partnership, which grant was given as part of the continued development of Briarwood Subdivision on Eisenhower Parkway in the City of Ann Arbor.
In 1995, Williamsburg Properties recorded, independently and without review by or cost to the City, an easement to the City of Ann Arbor granting an easement for three water main courses. This easement was recorded in Liber 3150, page 217 on September 6, 1995, in the Washtenaw County Records.
After a recent review of Council records it was determined that the easement was never subsequently administratively reviewed or presented to the City Council after recording by the Property Owner, and has not been accepted by the City Council.
The Project Management team has reviewed the grant of easement and has determined it is in the City’s best interest to accept the grant of public utilities under the terms stated in the recorded document.
Acceptance of the easement for public utilities is recommended.
