Introduced by the County Services and Finances Committees of the:

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AN EASEMENT TO MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP FOR A SANITARY SEWER LINE

 

RESOLUTION #04-313

 

WHEREAS, to alleviate a public health concern arising from a failed drainfield system at 1485 Sylvan Glen,  Meridian Township desires to construct a sanitary sewer line on County-owned property, and thus requires an easement for the construction and installation, operation, maintenance and repair of a sanitary sewer line, a copy of which easement is attached and incorporated by reference; and

 

WHEREAS, Meridian Township is prepared to pay the County the sum of $1.00 as consideration for the easement; and

 

WHEREAS, Meridian Township agrees to remove and relocate the sanitary sewer line within a reasonable time in the event the County, in its sole discretion, determines that the easement area is needed by the County for the construction of additional buildings or facilities.  In that event, the County would agree to provide, at no additional cost, a mutually agreeable substitute easement; and

 

WHEREAS, the County Attorney has reviewed and approved the Easement Grant, but has not reviewed the legal description set forth in the Easement Grant.

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Commissioners authorizes the execution of an easement grant pursuant to this resolution after review of the legal description and contingent upon Meridian Township approving and executing the Easement Grant.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board Chairperson and County Clerk are authorized to sign the document entitled Easement Grant and any other necessary documents regarding the easement, after review by County Attorney.
