Purpose and Recommended Action
commendation
This is a request for City Council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt an ordinance granting a new irrigation easement in favor of Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP) at westbound Glendale Avenue west of 87th Avenue.
Background
Glendale Landlord, LLC, the owner of the new assisted living facility currently under construction at 8847 West Glendale Avenue, is constructing driveways and right of way improvements providing access to Glendale Avenue. SRP has an existing pipeline in the alignment of the proposed improvements. As a condition to construct these improvements, SRP is requiring the owner to upgrade portions of the pipeline. SRP did not have an irrigation easement within the current Glendale Avenue right-of-way and is requesting one to protect its ability to access these facilities.
Analysis
Staff recommends granting the irrigation easement. There will be no impact on city departments, staff, or service levels as a result of this action.
Budget and Financial Impacts
There are no costs incurred to the city for this action.
