Resident raises easement and bike-path concern on private Rolling Meadows soil
Summary
Joey McArthur, owner of Lot 20 in Highland Meadows, told the council that 188 feet of frontage along Euclid Avenue — including the south half of the bike path — lies on private Rolling Meadows soil outside the 10-foot utility easement and urged legalizing the area under a master governmental agreement with MWRD.
During the public comment period resident Joey McArthur described a non-permanent easement affecting a 188-foot frontage on Euclid Avenue at Lot 20 in the Highland Meadows subdivision. McArthur said the south half of the bike path lies on private Rolling Meadows soil outside the city’s 10-foot utility easement and that 45 households signed in support of restoring flood-storage and installing a safety fence where needed.
McArthur told the council that, under the master governmental agreement with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) as lead sponsor, there is a clear path to legalize the 188 feet by installing a safety fence and restoring flood-storage. The minutes record McArthur’s request but do not indicate immediate staff action or a council direction recorded at the April 14 meeting.
