Title
EASEMENT E-1516-9: CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTANCE OF A PERMANENT SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT DONATED BY SUE JEAN SHRIER MATHENY, TRUSTEE OF THE REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST, FOR THE WOODCREST INTERCEPTOR PROJECT.
Body
BACKGROUND: The Woodcrest Interceptor improvements were recommended by the Wastewater Master Plan (WWMP) as adopted by the Norman Utilities Authority (NUA) in November 2001. The WWMP proposed the enlargement of interceptors to meet obligated and future capacity demands. The Woodcrest Interceptor Project, WW0120, is located in north central Norman from Lift Station D south to Tecumseh Road, then southwest to near Porter Avenue and Rock Creek Road (map attached). It consists of approximately 9,400 feet of new 24-inch and 15-inch sanitary sewer line. Final design is nearing completion and the project will bid soon.
DISCUSSION: Easements allow installation and maintenance of public sewer lines. Two (2) parallel easements, each fifteen feet (15’) wide, are needed to relocate the Woodcrest interceptor at this location. The new alignment is shorter and will save construction cost. Easement E-1516-10 is also included on this City Council Agenda. No cost is associated with this agenda item, since the owner is donating the Permanent Easement. The permanent easement is fifteen feet (15’) wide, with an area of about 6,949 square feet, or 0.16 acres; as shown on Exhibit A attached to the easement agreement.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance and filing of permanent sewer Easement E-1516-9.
