Agenda Report #
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Utility Easement for AT&T
INITIATED BY: Felton G. Grant, Right of Way Acquisition Coordinator
Recommendation: Approval is requested to execute a Permanent Utility Easement
and Access Easement to AT&T.
Background: AT&T has to relocate cabinets (similar to the picture attached)
because of the construction of the Whittlesey Road Project. The preferred
location is located on a total parcel the city had to buy at the corner of
Whittlesey Road and Ashwood Drive (Plat and right of way plan, attached)
Analysis: AT&T has requested the use of said property because of the close
proximity of the cabinet that has to be replaced. The City has no immediate
use of said property at this time. A portion of it could possible be use as a
Streetscape Project after the Whittlesey Road Project is complete, but working
around the Cabinet should not cause a problem.
Financial Considerations: There is not cost to the city. AT&T will handle the
legal aspects and file the instruments to the courts.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: None.
Legal Considerations: The City Attorney has no issues with this matter.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager
to execute a Permanent Utility Easement and Access Easement to AT&T.
