Title
Grant of Drainage Easement Within Lot 17, a Subdivision of North Community No. 2 (2897 Woodland)
Recommended Action
I move that Council approve acceptance of the Grant of Drainage easement within Lot 17, a Subdivision of North Community No. 2 (2897 Woodland).
Utilities Manager's Recommendation
The Utilities Manager recommends that Council accept this drainage easement as requested.
Body
This new drainage easement is needed for an existing public storm drain within the property. The original easement was dedicated as a utility easement, this grant will correct the easement to a drainage easement. The Los Alamos County Code requires that adequate provisions shall be made for accepting expected drainage and controlling storm water drainage from other properties, and for directing it to the storm sewer or drainage system, including considerations for impact on downstream properties (Sec. 16-152(c) and Sec. 16-153 (d)).
Alternatives
If the grant of drainage easement is not accepted, then county would not have legal access to maintain the storm sewer.
Fiscal and Staff Impact/Planned Item
None
