Commission Meeting Agenda Item

The easements for consideration are directly related to the upcoming Lady Lake Luxury Apartments Project located on US 27/441 in the south end of Town. There is an existing dead-end waterline located adjacent to these two properties on Citrus Lane. By obtaining these easements, the developer of the project will be able to connect at two locations for dual water feed capability. This allows the apartments to have water service if problems arise at either end of the system. It will also help water quality by eliminating a dead-end water line and help overall hydraulics of the water system. The Developer will fund the waterline extension. Staff have met with the property owners and negotiated compensation and terms for the 20-foot easement along the east side of the property lines, as shown in the attached Easement Agreements. The agreements and easements have been reviewed and approved by the Town Attorney.
