Overview: There are three property owners who are required to connect and be serviced by an Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) public sanitary sewer main that is parallel to the west-side of Sugarberry Road.  One of the properties is located on the east-side of Sugarberry Road and the other two are located on Greenwood Road. All three properties will use its own private sewer lateral that will all be installed within a 10-foot-wide private easement that will cross the Town-owned parcel. Each lateral will have its own identical easement layer over each other. The Town’s Parks and Recreations Department does not have a concern with the Town agreeing to this private easement.

 

Recommendation(s):

That the Council adopt a resolution authorizing the Town Manager execute these three private sewer easements on Town Property to serve the properties located on Sugarberry Road and Greenwood Road.

 

Key Issues:

                     The request is for three identical and layered private sewer easements to be placed on a Town property, located on the west side of the south end of Sugarberry Road to serve three properties located on the east side of Sugarberry Road.

                     The Town owned property is dedicated open space.

                     The subject properties are located at 625 Sugarberry Road, 620 Greenwood Road, and 622 Greenwood Road.

                     Both OWASA and the Town’s Parks and Recreation Department do not have a concern with agreeing to these easements.

                     The requesting property owners are responsible for any costs related to the installation of this sewer line, including preparation and recording of said easement.

 

Fiscal Impact/Resources: The Town will not incur any costs related to granting of these easements or the installation of the sewer laterals.
