Title
Resolution to Approve a Grant of Easement for a Private Sanitary Sewer Lead at 519 Eighth Street (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
This resolution authorizes a grant of easement for a private sanitary sewer lead across City property at 519 Eighth Street. The owner of 2 Jefferson Court has a failed sanitary sewer lead. The failed lead crosses under a neighboring house and cannot be replaced in that location. A City sanitary sewer main crosses adjacent vacant property owned by the City at 519 Eighth Street. The owner has requested an easement across the City's property to connect a new sanitary sewer lead into the City main. The request has been reviewed and approved by the Public Services Area on the condition that the easement contain an option for the City to relocate the private lead if determined necessary to use the City property. Due to the location of 2 Jefferson Court, this is the most accessible sewer main without crossing other private residential property. Therefore Public Services recommends granting the easement without cost except for recording fees and other fees and costs associated with granting the easement, and sewer tap and other fees associated with constructing and connecting the private lead.
