SUBJECT: Request for Release of Sanitary Sewer Easement for Sartori
School Property
ISSUE:
Should Council approve the release of an existing sanitary sewer easement requested by
Renton School District related to the Sartori School Property?
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the release of the sanitary sewer easement, subject to the collection of the
processing fee from Renton School District related to the Sartori School Property.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
As part of the Sartori School Project, the original easement location will need to be
released to allow for the utilities to be relocated for the overall development of the
property. An easement with the City of Renton (recording #20080707000225 and
20081028000318) was granted to the City at no cost, for the operation and
maintenance of the utilities within the subject property. The developer has already
provided new utility easements for the site utilities and the existing easement is no
longer needed.
All new public and private utilities are located within the current site and there is no
future need for the use of the portion of the easement being requested for release.
No public funds were spent on the acquisition or maintenance of this portion of the
easement, therefore it is classified as a “Class B” release of easement as defined in City
Code 9-1-4 and requires no further compensation to the City, other than the processing
fee to be paid by the applicant.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends the approval of the release of easement, subject to the collection of
the processing fee from Renton School District related to the Sartori School Property.
