When SID 1398 - Mountain View Boulevard Surface Improvements was constructed, the project utilized and improved upon an existing property owner installed concrete drainage spillway as part of the final drainage solution for the constructed street improvements. An easement is needed from the property owner to ensure drainage from the public right-of-way is managed by and within a City controlled facility.   

 

City Council may:

• Accept the storm drainage easement from the property owner for work constructed by SID 1398, or;
• Do not accept the easement.  If the easement is not accepted, stormwater runoff generated by the public right-of-way of Mountain View Boulevard will continue to drain over the same private property but the City would not have access to the drainage-way.

During creation of SID 1398, it was negotiated that no direct financial contribution would be made to the property owner for acquisition of the storm drainage easement.  However, the City did agree to include within the design plans, additional pavement and rock work adjacent to the concrete spillway.  These costs were added to the SID and there is no additional financial impact to the City or the SID for acceptance of this easement.
 

Staff recommends that Council accept the storm drainage easement from the property owner for improvements constructed by SID 1398.
