<br />G.9 Approve Access Easement Agreement for Property Located at 12895 Ethan Avenue <br />North <br /> <br />The property owner at 12895 Ethan Avenue North, Robert L Merch Revocable Trust, is <br />requesting an access easement over City owned property for an existing driveway to access the <br />home. The driveway has been in place for decades to access the home. The driveway crosses <br />City owned property along Ethan Avenue. In review of recorded documents with Washington <br />County they have stated that a vague access easement is in place, however it was not created <br />with a separate access easement. The property owner is asking to formalize the access easement, <br />since there is no other way to access the property. Staff recommends approval of the access <br />easement agreement, subject to City Attorney review and approval. <br /> <br />I.1 Approve Resolution Receiving Bids and Awarding the Contract for Beaver Ponds and <br />2025 Street Improvement Projects <br /> <br />Bids were received for the 2025 Beaver Ponds Area Street Improvement Project and the 2025 <br />Street Improvement Project on March 20, 2025.
