RE: |
License Agreement 1800 New Hampshire |
Lois and Frederick McMillan have submitted a request to install a 3 ft. picket-style fence along New Hampshire and a 6 ft. privacy fence along 18th Street per the attached drawing. The McMillan’s are not asking for a vacation of right-of-way, but a License Agreement to use the city’s right-of-way.
The License Agreement places all responsibility for installation and maintenance on the property owner, holds the city harmless for any damages, and can be cancelled with thirty days notice. The fence can be removed at the owner’s expense if a utility needs to use the right-of-way.
All the utility companies have reviewed this request and have no objections. The McMillan’s will need to obtain a variance (with permission of adjacent neighbors) for a 6 ft. fence on 18th Street and will need to comply with site triangle requirements which are conditions of the agreement.
Action Requested: Pending City Commission review, city staff would recommend approval of the License Agreement.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles F. Soules, P.E.

Attachment: License Agreement
