RFCA - O-2009-13

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION

ORDINANCE:  O-2009-13

SUBJECT:   Ordinance authorizing the City to convey a Permanent Easement for a water line and related appurtenances to Bancroft Clover Water and Sanitation District across a portion of the Outlot C, Lakewood Estates Filing No. 2 between West Adriatic Place and South Lake Road.

ADDRESS:   The intersection of West Adriatic Place and South Lake Road.

RECOMMENDATION:  Staff recommends approval of this ordinance authorizing conveyance of the easement to Bancroft Clover Water and Sanitation District .

FUNDING SOURCE:  N/A

SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:  The City of Lakewood has been asked by Bancroft Clover Water and Sanitation District to convey a Permanent Easement for an existing water line which crosses Outlot C between West Adriatic Place and South Lake Road.  The water line was constructed before the City of Lakewood obtained title to Outlot C, and the District never recorded or obtained an easement for this facility.  Even though the District has a prescriptive right for this facility it would be beneficial for both parties to convey the easement to the District so the City will be assured that when the District upgrades the water line all the City improvements (consisting of sidewalk and landscaping) will be replaced after the construction.  The upgrade of this water line is necessary to better serve the adjoining neighborhood.  City staff has reviewed this request and have no concerns.
