2015.12.14 Council Agenda Item 11

Summary

Order to authorize the Town Manager to execute an easement that will grant the Town of Falmouth property rights associated with a sidewalk being constructed by 469 Doten, LLC (developer of a proposed restaurant known as Rivalries), that will be partially located on private property. 

A public comment period will be included with this item (3 minutes).

ACTION: Council action is anticipated.

Description

The developer of property located at the corner of Clearwater Drive, Farm Gate Road and Hat Trick Drive has recently received site plan approval to locate a new restaurant. The property owner has been approved to build a sidewalk that will be partially located in the public right of way and partially located on their private property. In order to have this sidewalk be accessible by the general public, the property owner needs to grant the Town a public easement over that portion of the private property. The private property owner would be responsible for maintaining the sidewalk. This action is a condition of the Planning Board Site Plan approval.

The attached easement will allow public access to the private property in question.
