Title

A substitute ordinance granting an air space lease to the Wisconsin Center District for a connector between North 6th and North Vel R. Phillips Avenue on Wells Street for the premises at 400 West Wisconsin Avenue.

Analysis

In accordance with state law, this ordinance will grant an air space lease to the Wisconsin Center District for the purpose of using and maintaining an existing bridging structure over West Wells Street between North Vel R. Phillips Avenue and North 6th Street and connecting the properties at 400 West Wisconsin Avenue and 405 West Kilbourn Avenue (4th Aldermanic District).

Body                     

The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:

Part 1:  In accordance with the provisions of s. 66.0915(3), Wis. Stats., (2019-2020), the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee authorizes, directs and agrees that the City of Milwaukee, through the proper City officers, enter into an air space lease with the Wisconsin Center District for a term of 99 years for the purpose of allowing Lessee to use and maintain an existing bridging structure over West Wells Street between North Vel R. Phillips Avenue and North 6th Street and connecting the properties at 400 West Wisconsin Avenue and 405 West Kilbourn Avenue, as described in the lease.  The Common Council further finds that the area described in the lease is not needed for street, alley or other public purposes and that the public interest will be served inasmuch as the leasing of the airspace will promote the development of the downtown and the city’s tourism industry.

Part 2. Attached and made part of Common Council File No. 210928 is a copy of such lease in substantially the same form as the lease that will be signed.

Part 3.  All ordinances or parts of ordinances contravening the provisions of this ordinance are hereby repealed.

Part 4.  The Department of City Development, through its real estate section, shall process, at the expense of the Lessee, the recording of this ordinance and the executed lease with the Milwaukee County Register of Deeds and shall forward the recording information, along with a final copy of this ordinance and the lease, to the City Engineer and the City Comptroller.

Part 5.  This ordinance shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage and publication.

Attorney

IT IS OUR OPINION THAT THE ORDINANCE

IS LEGAL AND ENFORCEABLE
