Council accepts drainage easement for 105—607 Catherine Street to allow subdivision
Summary
The council approved acceptance of a recorded stormwater drainage easement for 105—607 Catherine Street so the owner can convey a new stormwater pipe to the city, enabling a subdivision that will create a new single-family lot and a shared driveway.
City staff explained that an existing city stormwater drain crosses the property at 105—607 Catherine Street but an official recorded easement could not be located; the owner will install a new stormwater pipe at their expense and record an easement that grants the city maintenance rights. "So tonight, you're just approving the acceptance of that easement and the city administrator to sign it," staff said.
Council discussed logistical details including the pipe location under a shared driveway, the common driveway easement for the two resulting lots, and how the easement will be recorded in Dutchess County to notify future owners that the city has maintenance rights. The council moved, seconded, and approved acceptance of the drainage easement for 105—607 Catherine Street by voice vote.
