Hello David,
I am in the process of gathering easements so that we can fill in locations of missing sidewalk along Denton Tap Road.
I spoke with a property owner representative that does not feel the wording of the easements guarantees that the city will
repair the sidewalk. I don't think it matters to them about state compliancy and knowing the city is liable for the sidewalk.
They are mostly concerned about the wording of the easement and guaranteeing any future repairs.
I have attached the easement document that all property owners have been receiving.
Let me know how this should be addressed. Thanks!
Sincerely,
DiWanna Baskins
