Adopt Resolution #15-08-198 Authorizing Acquisition of a Permanent Easement Necessary for the Construction of a Storm Sewer Line

The City identified the need for a storm sewer line to serve the 144th Avenue extension project.  The end of the line terminates on property owned by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).  The City negotiated for and received assurances that the MPCA would grant the required easement.  The City prepared plans, received bids and constructed the project. 
 
The MPCA conducted a review of their easements in this area in 2014 and determined that this storm sewer easement had not been recorded at Anoka County.

The attached Resolution #15-08-198 authorizes acquisition of the easement over the storm sewer line that terminates on the MPCA property. 

Notification of adjacent land owners is not required.

The storm sewer line was installed in 2008 based on the agreement with the MPCA to obtain the necessary easement.

The MPCA has not requested reimbursement for the acquisition of the utility easement.

Staff recommends approving Resolution #15-08-198 Authorizing Acquisition of a Permanent Easement Necessary for the Construction of a Storm Sewer Line.
