Summary
The City Council authorized the mayor to acquire permanent and temporary easements across 134 Hale Street for a stormwater outfall tied to the Phase 1 Lock Street combined sewer overflow (CSO) separation project; the agreed price is $95,000 based on an appraisal and owner-signed documents.
The Haverhill City Council voted unanimously to authorize the mayor to acquire permanent and temporary easements at 134 Hale Street to install a stormwater drainage outfall required for the Phase 1 Lock Street combined sewer overflow (CSO) sewer separation project.
Robert E. Ward, director of the Department of Public Works, told the council the easement is necessary for the drainage outfall and that the city and the property owner, 134 Hale Street Realty Trust, have agreed on the price of $95,000 based on an appraisal. Ward said the owner has executed the grant of easement, settlement and release agreement and a subordination agreement; copies of the documents were provided to councilors.
The council authorized the mayor to acquire the permanent and temporary easements and to execute any documents necessary to effect the acquisition. The roll-call vote was recorded as 11 yeas, 0 nays.
Ward said the Lock Street sewer separation project is expected to begin later this summer and that the easement is required to install the outfall as part of phase 1 work. No further conditions or amendments to the transaction were recorded in the transcript.
