Sewer Easements 2 December 21, 2009 The intent of Phase II of the project is to extend the upstream end of the sewer mains to the nearest right of way. With the new extensions in place, maintenance can be performed utilizing the more powerful truck tools from the right of way, completing the tasks more safely and more efficiently. Four locations were specifically identified as requiring easements and legal descriptions were prepared. Staff met with the property owners, two on Kenilworth Avenue and two on View Drive. Three of the property owners have agreed to grant the City these easements at their fair market value. (See attached easement documents.) Negotiations are still ongoing with the owners of the property located at 1811 View Drive.
