Hanson <br />www.d.little-canada.mn.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Blesener and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: October 7, 2005 <br />RE: Acceptance of Easements for Country Drive Trail Project <br />Staff has been negotiating the acquisition of easement to allow us to complete the Country <br />Drive Trail project that will connect the sidewalk along Little Canada Road with the trail on <br />the Waterworks land. Two property owners are involved. Negotiations have focused on <br />donated easements from the property owners. <br />Attached is a proposed easement from one of the property owners. You will note that the City <br />Attomey is not totally comfortable with some of the provisions of this easement <br />(indemnification clause, maintenance provisions, and the extra language not contained in our <br />standard form). However, I believe these provisions are not onerous and given that they are <br />being donated, I feel they are acceptable. We may also have the other easement (Porter <br />House) ready by Wednesday night. <br />Subject to any comments by the City Attorney, I would recommend approval as presented. <br />
