RE Fwd Landscape ROW License Agreement (3)I sent the draft agreement to the developer’s attorney Friday morning and am still awaiting comments. I think it can be ready, but cannot guarantee. Mindi, what do you think? Kevin B. Laughlin Nichols, Jackson, Dillard, Hager & Smith, LLP 1800 Lincoln Plaza 500 N.

I'm supposed to have our agenda requests in this morning. Keith Keith Marvin, P.E. Project Engineer (972) 304-3681 >>> Kevin Laughlin <klaughlin@njdhs.com> 5/11/2012 8:29 AM >>> Based on my review of the plat, I am good with leaving the landscaped area located in the easement the connects Houston and Burnet in the license. As that easement is going to be a public access and utility easement, the city would need to grant a license for entry for another purpose anyway. The license is going to be recorded, so at the time of the sale of the property, the city will reserve and make the property subject to the license, just as it would if selling the property subject to an existing lease. The license is assignable to the POA that is identified in the DCCR's that will attach to the property which have been approved as part of the development agreement with the buyer-to-be. I think the agreement pretty much covers all of the issues that need to be covered and, because of the level of detail regarding who is responsible for maintenance and relocation costs, protects the city far more than a mere plat note. Unless someone has any objections, I am going to proceed with sending the draft of the license to Jeff Fink for review. Kevin B.

Because the City presently owns the property, if this landscaping area is needing to be established now, then we still need to be granting a license for the use of the area. If the easement is a public easement, we may need to grant a license for purpose of establishing the City's primary rights regarding relocation. If neither of these situations exist, then I may end up agreeing with you. Since I am handling the documents relating to the sales of the property, I can address the retention of the City's rights in the documents relating to the sale, especially since the party to whom the license is being granted is the buyer of the land.

You are correct that we currently own this property. My concern is that when we sell it we may no longer have the authority to grant the POA rights within the area. Unlike ROW, which we will always control, this area will one day belong to an individual business owner. We will have the right to construct and maintain a sidewalk and our utilities because of the easement, but I question whether we would have the right to do what we're licensing someone else to do. I think it would be easier to simply show this as an area of POA maintenance on the plat.

The City certainly can grant a license agreement on its own property. I agree that if the area is in fact within the platted lot of a third party, we have no right to grant it. It may be the sketch for B-2 is not sufficiently detailed and needs to be modified. If so, we can get the developer to fix the exhibit.
