RESOLUTION NO. ______________ A RESOLUTION Authorizing Granting of Utility Easements to the Snohomish County PUD in City-Owned Parcels in the 2400 and 2300 Blocks of Lower Norton Avenue and Authorizing Conveyance to the City of One Parcel in the 2400 Block of Lower Norton Avenue. WHEREAS, A.The City owns parcels with tax identification numbers 00437448500000 and 00437455700900, which are as shown in the attached Exhibit A. These parcels are sandwiched between the BNSF railroad tracks and Lower Norton Avenue. B.The owner of the parcels on the other side of Lower Norton Avenue is Marina View 5J LLC, which is referred to in this Resolution as the Developer. The Developer intends to construct apartments and other improvements on its parcels. However, the Snohomish County PUD’s power lines are currently located in the alley east of the Developer’s parcels, which hinders development. The Developer’s parcels and the current power line location are shown in the attached Exhibit A. C.The Developer is in the process of coordinating with the Snohomish County PUD the relocation of the power lines away from the alley. The proposed new location of the power lines is shown on the attached Exhibit A. D.The Developer has requested that the City grant to the Snohomish County PUD utility easements because the proposed new location of the power lines will run through the City’s parcels described in Recital A above. In exchange for the easements, the Developer will cause the parcel with tax identification number 00437455701200 to be conveyed to the City at no cost to the City. This parcel is shown on attached Exhibit A, and it is also between the BNSF railroad tracks and Lower Norton Avenue. An easement to the Snohomish County PUD for the power lines will also be granted on this parcel. E.The City’s Real Property Manager has determined that the value of the parcel to be conveyed to the City is at least as much as the value of the to-be-granted easements described above. F.The purpose of this Resolution is to authorize the Mayor to execute documents and take actions as necessary to grant the easements and take conveyance of the above-described parcel. 7828
