Council approves roughly $76,000 easement from Rocky Mountain Power for 1200 West road project
Summary
Springville approved purchase of a permanent easement from Rocky Mountain Power to allow construction of 250 North across a utility-owned parcel as part of the 1200 West road project; staff said the consideration is about $76,000.
Springville City Council voted to approve purchase and signing of a public roadway and utility easement from Rocky Mountain Power to allow construction of 250 North at 1200 West as part of the city’s 1200 West roadway project.
City staff said the easement secures the right to construct a roadway and for utilities to cross property owned by Rocky Mountain Power (Utah Power and Light). Staff described the negotiated purchase price as roughly $76,000, equating to about $8–$9 per square foot after negotiations from an initial asking price near $20 per square foot.
Staff said Rocky Mountain Power would grant an easement rather than sell fee title; the easement is a one-time purchase and will be held by the city indefinitely. Council approved the motion by roll-call vote.
Council action clears a key property hurdle for the 1200 West project and allows the city to proceed with right-of-way construction and utility crossings at that location.
