Title
Substitute resolution authorizing granting a Permanent Limited Easement to We Energies for a portion of the City-owned property at 841 North James Lovell Street for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Kilbourn Tunnel Lighting Project, in the 4th Aldermanic District.
Analysis
This substitute resolution grants a Permanent Limited Easement to We Energies to accommodate the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Kilbourn Tunnel Lighting Project.
Body
Whereas, The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (“WisDOT”) is replacing the lighting system in the Kilbourn Tunnel and has requested We Energies acquire easement rights from the City to facilitate the work; and
Whereas, Land needed for the improvements are part of 841 North James Lovell Street (the “Property”) that is owned by the City of Milwaukee (“City”) and is managed as an undevelopable vacant parcel by the Department of Public Works (“DPW”); and
Whereas, The City and DPW will benefit since the new conduit will draw electricity from the east and North 6th Street rather than the parking deck owned by the City to the west; and
Whereas, We Energies is requesting the acquisition of property rights at the Property consisting of approximately 0.035 acres (1,524 feet) of the site as a permanent limited easement for an underground utility line as indicated in the file; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee that the Commissioner of the Department of City Development, or designee, is authorized to execute the easement, and other documents necessary to grant the permanent limited easement to We Energies, and to take such further acts as are or may be necessary to effectuate this resolution.
