Explanation

The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, received a request from Apex Realty Enterprises LLC, asking that the City grant them subsurface easement rights in that portion of Pearl Alley, from Hubbard Avenue north to the first unnamed alley north of Hubbard Avenue. This subsurface easement will be used to construct and operate underground access from a proposed parking garage on the east to a condominium building proposed for the west side of this portion of Pearl Alley at 830 North High Street. Per current Transportation Division practice, comments were solicited from interested parties, including City departments before it was determined that there would be no adverse impact to the City upon the granting of this easement. It was determined there are existing utilities located within this alley. Apex Realty Enterprises, LLC, has agreed to either relocate or otherwise accommodate these existing utilities through their construction of the underground access. A value of $500.00 was established for the granting of this subsurface easement.

The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the granting of the requested subsurface easement rights.
