CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN
AND THE CITY CLERK TO ATTEST THE RELEASE OF A PUBLIC
WALKWAYITRAIL EASEMENT AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZING
THE MAYOR TO SIGN AND THE CITY CLERK TO ATTEST A
PERMANENT RECREATION TRAIL EASEMENT AGREEMENT
SUBSTITUTED IN LIEU THEREOF FOR THE COURT HILL TRAIL
PROJECT.
Comment: In 1997, in contemplation of a future public walkway/trail along
the northern edge of the site of the First Avenue Food Store, an
easement agreement was authorized and executed between the City and
Hy-Vee, Inc. as part of the site plan for said development. The property
acquisition for the Court Hill Trail Project was authorized by Council on
July 24, 2007 by Resolution No. 07-220 and during the design of said trail
it was discovered that the easement area obtained from Hy-Vee in 1997
was now covered by a large dirt pile preventing its use in the
construction of the trail. Since the cost to remove this dirt pile would be
prohibitive, City staff and Hy-Vee have negotiated an agreement to
replace the easement area with a substituted easement area of
identical size and width. This resolution calls for the release of the first
easement agreement for a public walkway/trail and authorizes the second
agreement for a permanent recreation trail easement. Staff recommends
the approval of this release and substituted easement agreement.
