AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. $ [ 1
For Meeting of: April 5, 2011
ITEM TITLE: Consideration of a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to sign an
easement in favor of Castle Creek Apartments, L.L.C.
SUBMITTED BY: Joan Davenport, Acting Director, Community & Economic Development
CONTACT PERSON / TELEPHONE: Bruce Benson, Supervising Planner, 575 -6042
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Castle Creek Apartments, which are located south of Nob Hill Boulevard at approximately
49 Avenue, are required by the international Fire Code and YMC 15.05.050 to have two points
of legal access to their development. They already have direct access to Nob Hill Boulevard but
a small strip of city owned property separates them from the existing east /west access road
connecting them to S 48 Avenue and their second point of access. The developers of the
apartments have therefore requested an easement over and across a small portion of the city's
land so that they might legally have their second point of access. To this end, you are being
• requested to approve the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign the easement
document.
