PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
Atonement Lutheran Church is constructing a new church on Wicks Lane near Skyview High School. The Church wants to provide a wider street boulevard than was originally planned and is willing to construct a sidwalk on its property in order to accommodate the wider boulevard. Atonement Lutheran has agreed to grant the City of Billings a right-of-way easement for the sidewalk.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The Council may:
- Accept the right-of-way easement; or
- Do not accept the right-of-way easement and require that the sidewalk be built in the existing right-of-way.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no significant financial impact with acceptance of this right-of-way easement.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council accept the right-of-way easement from Atonement Lutheran Church
