Title
Resolution Vacating Access Easement for Groundwater Monitoring Well and Accepting Replacement Access Easement for Groundwater Monitoring Well from Walter Hilton Revocable Trust In Pittsfield Township (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
The City of Ann Arbor has an existing access easement for a groundwater monitoring well located on the Walter Hilton Trust Property in Pittsfield Township. City Council adopted a resolution on November 20, 1989, stating that the establishment of a groundwater monitoring well on private property to the south of the Ann Arbor landfill was necessary to fulfill the obligations of the City under the operating license and consent agreement for the landfill with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, which necessitated the acquisition of an easement over private property. The access easement was purchased by means of a Declaration of Taking, as recorded on November 22, 1989 in Liber 2365, Page 399 of the Washtenaw County Records.
The City wishes to vacate the current access easement for the groundwater monitoring well, contingent upon the completion of the purchase of 52 acres of the Walter Hilton Revocable Trust property, and contingent upon the acceptance of a new access easement as described in the attached resolution.
The attached resolution will simultaneously vacate the existing access easement for the groundwater monitoring well on the Walter Hilton Revocable Trust property and accept a replacement 20 foot wide access easement, also contingent upon the purchase of 52 acres from the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund.
Solid Waste of the Public Services Area has reviewed the easement being vacated and has no objections.
Approval to vacate the existing access easement and to accept the replacement access easement is recommended.
