SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: By Motion 2014-0934, City Council authorized the abandonment and sale of a 10 foot-wide utility easement, in exchange for conveyance to the City of a 10 foot-wide sanitary sewer easement, both located within Lot 136, Block 1 of the Ridgewood Addition. Subsequent to passage of Motion 2014-0934, the transaction description was changed to the abandonment and sale of a 10 foot-wide prescriptive sanitary sewer easement, in exchange for conveyance to the City of a 10 foot-wide sanitary sewer easement, both located within Lot 136, Block 1 of the Ridgewood Addition to correctly reflect the transaction. The property owners at the time of the request for a motion, Christopher and Kimberly Evans, later sold their tract of land with the prescriptive easement to the current property owner, Andres Chapellin. The relocation of the sanitary sewer line within the tract of land will facilitate Andres Chapellin’s plan to construct a single-family house.
Andres Chapellin has completed the transaction requirements, has accepted the City’s offer, and has rendered payment in full.
The City will abandon and sell to Andres Chapellin:
Parcel SY14-024
950 square feet of sanitary sewer easement $35,625.00
Valued at $37.50 per square foot
TOTAL ABANDONMENTS AND SALE $35,625.00
In exchange, Andres Chapellin will pay:

Parcel DY14-007
950 square feet of sanitary sewer easement $35,625.00

Inasmuch as the value of the $2,100.00 minimum fee plus the easement being conveyed to the City is greater than the value of the easement being abandoned and sold, it is recommended City Council approve an Ordinance authorizing the abandonment and sale of a 10 foot-wide prescriptive sanitary sewer easement, in exchange for a consideration of $2,100.00 plus conveyance to the City of a 10 foot-wide sanitary sewer easement, both located within Lot 136, Block 1 of the Ridgewood Addition.
