Title
Release of Easements in the 1400 Block NW 9th Avenue (B)
Release of Easements in the 1400 Block NW 9th Avenue to serve Schlegel Minor Subdivision
Explanation
In February 2006, a 20-foot wide easement was granted to the City of Gainesville for the construction, operation and maintenance of potable water and sanitary sewer utilities to serve the Schlegel Minor Subdivision, located in the 1400 block of NW 9th Avenue. An additional 5-foot wide easement was granted to the City of Gainesville in January 2007, for the same.
The property owner has since decided to privately maintain the water and sanitary sewer utility facilities located within the subdivision. Therefore, the owner has requested that the City release both easements established for this purpose.
Staff has reviewed this request and confirmed that there are no electric, water, sewer, or gas utilities to be maintained by the City, located within the area to be released. Therefore, staff has no objection to the City releasing these easements.
Recommendations
The City Commission: 1) approve the release of two easements located in the 1400 Block of NW 9th Avenue; and 2) authorize the Mayor to execute the Release of Easement document subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
