WSSC Utility Easement Request - Suffrage Pointe Development Plan

end

 

Suggested Action:

recommendation

I move the City Council authorize the City Administrator to negotiate and execute a public use easement with the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) for the purpose of granting certain rights regarding the replacement and maintenance of storm drains located on City land and within public rights of way.

end

 

Summary Background:

The City has received a request for the granting of a utility easement from the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) via Werrlein Properties.

 

The 30’ public utility easement (PUE) is necessary for WSSC to perform maintenance of an existing storm drain, which is 12'-15' below grade. 

 

There is no recordation of an existing public utility easement.  WSSC has determined that the condition of the existing pipe requires replacement.  If granted an easement, Werrlein Properties will be responsible for performing the storm drain replacement as part of site development infrastructure activities related to Suffragist Pointe development. 

 

Next Steps:

No further action is required.

 

Fiscal Impact:
