MEMO TO: Mayor Vandernail and the Board of Trustees
FROM: Catherine E. Trotter, AICP, Town Planner
DATE: August 10, 2017
SUBJECT: License Agreement~840 & 842 Mink Lane
MATTER BEFORE BOARD:
Resolution approving a license agreement with property owners at 840 & 842 Mink Lane.
ACTION REQUESTED/EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Approval of a resolution providing for the execution of a license agreement to allow a portion of
a deck and block retaining wall that encroach upon a five-foot (5’) snow removal and storage
easement (adjacent to Mink Lane) and a small portion of the Mink Lane right-of-way (ROW) to
remain in said location under the terms and conditions specified in the license agreement (in
packet).
BACKGROUND:
It has come to our attention that a portion of a deck and block retaining wall encroach upon a
snow storage easement and a small portion of the Town ROW on Mink Lane. After numerous
discussions with the property owners at 840 & 842 Mink Lane, the owners of said property paid
for a survey to determine the extent of the encroachments. See Exhibit A to license agreement.
After reviewing Exhibit A, the property owners inquired if the Town of Fraser would be willing to
enter into a license agreement for the purpose of allowing the deck and retaining wall to remain
in the current locations.
The property owners have agreed to reimburse the Town for a proportionate share of the
expenses incurred by the Town in connection with the preparation and execution of the
Agreement, including but not limited to attorney fees, as invoiced by the Town.
ALTERNATIVES:
Not enter into license agreement with property owners.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of resolution authorizing the Town Manager to enter into a License
Agreement with property owners at 840 & 842 Mink Lane.
