Summary

Council approved Resolution R25-0303 to terminate a long-unused easement for a water tank and access road on property at 1100 South Willow Avenue (Parcel 98), a move the presenter said was requested by the property's developer and is consistent with the tank being out of service since the mid-1980s.

Cookeville City Council on March 6 approved Resolution R25-0303 to terminate the easement for a water tank and its access road on property at 1100 South Willow Avenue (Parcel 98), owned by Broad Street Properties (formerly referred to as the Norwalk Property).

Public Works staff member Mr. Turner explained that a water tank once occupied the site but was taken out of service in the mid-1980s. Turner said the parcel and easement are no longer needed by the city, and that the developer requested termination of the easement. Turner recommended approval of the resolution to terminate the tank easement and access road.

The motion to approve was made by Councilman Boggio and seconded by Councilman Walker. The council voted five to zero to adopt the resolution.

Why it matters: terminating the easement clears a property title issue the presenter said the developer seeks to resolve and removes a long-unused municipal interest in a low-lying site where the tank is no longer operable.

Council discussion was brief and focused on Turner’s description of the site and the lack of municipal need for the easement; no amendments were made.
