SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Mike Eckhart, on behalf of Reserve on Payette LLC, has approached the City and offered to provide a
drainage easement across a portion of the Reserve on Payette project. The property is located downhill from
the J Ditch winter storage pond. The proposed easement area is immediately adjacent to the public access to
the river, provided as part of the final plat of Reserve on Payette.
The underdrain system, which intercepts groundwater flowing under or originating under the storage pond,
discharges into three swales on the Reserve on Payette property. The City has an undefined easement across
the Reserve on Payette property already. The new easement will clarify and formalize the City's right to use
this portion of the Reserve on Payette property.
Concurrently, the City and Mr. Eckhart are finalizing the details of the wetland mitigation work required in
the Reserve on Payette Development Agreement. The City will provide equipment and manpower to
modify the existing swales, creating larger wetland areas. The wetland will provide additional natural
treatment of the underdrain outfall, mitigate the wetland impacts of Reserve on Payette road construction,
and provide a natural amenity on the site. The City will also obtain approximately 1,200 cubic yards of pit
run material, to supplement our pit in Riverfront Park.
The proposed drainage easement is being prepared by the City Attorney and will be available for the
Council on Monday, September 21, 2009.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept the easement across Reserve on Payette and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
