RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council accept the Perpetual Right-of-Way Easement from Billings Logistics Center One LLC.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
The annexation of the Billings Logistics Center One LLC property, located at 3218 South Frontage Road, along with a development agreement, was approved at 7/12/21 City Council meeting. The development agreement required the developer to grant the City a 30-foot wide easement along the southern portion of the property for a future multi-use trail. City staff has been working with Performance Engineering on the design of the River Edge Trail. The River Edge Trail is to be constructed in the future from the City County Drain to the existing trail along Mystic Park near the City's water plant. The easement has been set back from the Yellowsone River bank in a buildable area. Attached is the easement for acceptance.
ALTERNATIVES
City Council may:
- Approve the perpetual right-of-way easement; or,
- Not approve the perpetual right-of-way easement. If not approved, the trail cannot be constructed along the Yellowstone River in this area.
FISCAL EFFECTS
There is no significant financial impact to the City with acceptance of the perpetual right-of-way easement. The City would be responsible to construct the multi-use trail in the future.
