Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the acceptance of a permanent easement from the Richard A. Peterson Revocable Trust under Agreement Dated December 30, 2008 for roadway purposes over property on and adjacent to West Skyline Parkway, at no cost to the city.
In 2017, the City is undertaking a project to restore the historic rock retaining walls at various scenic overlook facilities along Skyline Parkway. As a part of the planning process for the project, a real estate audit was conducted to ensure that the parkway lies within the designated right-of-way. During the audit, it was discovered that a small portion of the existing West Skyline Parkway lies outside of the city’s right-of-way.
The Richard A. Peterson Trust is willing to grant a roadway easement to the City for the small portion of land lying outside of the city’s right-of-way for West Skyline Parkway. An aerial view of the easement area and adjacent West Skyline Parkway is attached as Exhibit 2.
