PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize the granting and execution of a right of way easement (Easement) to the City of Farmington (City) for the extension of Spruce Street.
SUMMARY
The County owns a ten-acre property (Parcel Identification Number 14-03600-05-012) in the City, currently used for Transportation purposes, known as the Farmington Maintenance Facility. The northern portion of the property includes a maintenance shop, parking lot and a material/equipment storage building. The southern portion of the property is unused.
The City is planning to extend Spruce Street from Dushane Parkway to Eaton Avenue to accommodate future development. The City previously acquired 35 feet of right of way from the northern edge of the parcel south of the County property. Now, they have requested that the County convey a 35-foot-wide Easement along its southern property boundary, encompassing 11,759 square feet. See attached easement with legal description (Attachment: Proposed Easement) and general depiction (Attachment: General Depiction of Proposed Easement) of the proposed Easement.
Historically, the County and its city partners have provided one another with necessary easements at no cost when the project served a public purpose. This continued cooperation helps achieve projects in a timely and cost-effective manner for the residents of the County.
