SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:

Summary Recommendation

Authorize the City Administrator to execute a grant of easement on City property near the southeast corner of Maiden Lane and 2nd Street to Arizona Public Service Company (APS) for the installation of electric facilities necessary for the development of surrounding Downtown Yuma properties. (City Administrator/Jay Simonton)

 

end

 

STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

Granting an easement for electrical facilities at this location supports the City Council’s strategic outcome of Respected and Responsible as the easement benefits the development of the new Yuma County Administration Services Building and allows for the orderly and responsible development of Downtown Yuma.

 

REPORT:

The City of Yuma (City) owns a parcel of land legally described as Block 16, according to White’s Survey Map 0000-1, filed April 4, 1894, in the Yuma County Recorder’s Office.  Block 16 is the parcel of land bounded by 2nd Street to the north, Gila Street to the east, 3rd Street to the south, and Maiden Lane to the west. 

 

APS has requested a new easement at no cost from the City of approximately 1,232 square feet in the Northwest corner of Block 16.  Below is a map of the new easement area (Easement Area) as well as a recent photo from Google Maps of the Easement Area.

 

According to APS, the need for new electrical facilities in the Easement Area is created by the ongoing construction of the new Yuma County Administration Services Building at 197 S. Main St., and the future development of Downtown Yuma.

 

Because the City may someday wish to develop Block 16 in a manner that is incompatible with this new easement, APS agrees that the City has the right to request the relocation of the new electrical facilities and the abandonment of the Easement Area at no future cost to the City.
