Council advances easement to reroute waterline near Denton Park
Summary
Council introduced and discussed Resolution No. 18 (2025), authorizing the mayor to acquire rights and easements to extend and reroute a waterline from 2020 Lee LLC to avoid running through Denton Park and enable nearby construction; council heard a staff explanation of the reroute and easement footprint.
Shelby City Council reviewed Resolution No. 18 (2025) authorizing the mayor, as director of public service, to acquire rights and an easement for a waterline extension associated with property identified as 2020 Lee LLC.
Public service staff explained the request as a rerouting of an existing waterline that currently crosses Denton Park. The reroute would shift the line around the park to allow construction of additional structures on adjacent property: “The current waterline goes straight through the park. To allow more structures to be constructed off to the property, it’s gonna be re routed,” a staff presenter said.
Council asked for clarification on the work; staff described the easement area shown in project documents and confirmed the purpose was to relocate the water main away from the park footprint. The council had a motion for passage; the transcript records discussion seeking additional detail but does not record any added conditions.
Ending: Resolution No. 18 (2025) was presented with staff explanation; council discussion focused on the easement footprint and the intent to reroute the line to permit adjacent development. Staff will proceed with required easement acquisition steps if the resolution is adopted.
