City staff to consider easement request from Union Sales for parcel adjacent to Franschott Park
Summary
Staff said Union Sales and an adjacent private party requested use of a narrow strip of Franschott Park; committee discussed granting an easement similar to a prior garage easement and asked staff to work with legal and return with details.
Staff reported that Union Sales and a private purchaser have requested permission to use a narrow piece of Franschott Park that juts from the park toward South Union Street. The request mirrors a prior situation at Boardman Park where the city granted an easement to a property owner whose garage encroached on parkland.
Committee members asked staff to coordinate with the city attorney and parks director to draft a potential easement agreement that would preserve park uses while permitting the requested private use. No final decision or conveyance was made; staff were asked to return with a draft easement and legal review.
