RESOLUTION No. 26, SERIES 2010 A RESOLUTION APPROVING A GRANT OF EASEMENT AND TEMPORARY WORK EASEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE AND PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF COLORADO Mayor Sisk requested a Staff presentation. Public Works Director Phare explained Public Service Company (Xcel Energy) is requesting a 10' x 90' medium pressure gas pipeline easement on the City Shops property adjacent to the Highway 42 Regulator Station and temporary use of the City Shops access area off of Highway 42. Xcel prepared easement documents and offered compensation for two easements. For underground pipeline easements value has typically been 40 to 50 percent of fee simple interest depending on what, if any, surface restrictions are associated with the easement. In this case the surface right which is used by the City Shops as an access and storage area will still be available to the City. Providing an easement will preclude this property from having future permanent surface improvements. However, none were anticipated given its location and proximity to the high and medium pressure gas distribution facilities. The easement value is approximately $2.78 per square foot for the 900 sq. ft. easement. The City will receive $4,393 for providing a Temporary Construction Easement and Permanent Pipeline Easement. Staff recommended City Council approve Public Service Company of Colorado Easement for an Underground Gas Pipeline and Temporary Work Space Easement Agreement for installation of underground gas pipeline facilities.
