the existing Water Supply Agreement. The price for

ADDENDUM I
PHONE VOTE
REGARDING UNION AVE. RESERVOIR LAND EXCHANGE
11. LAND EXCHANGE WITH SOULE TRUST AT UNION AVE. RESERVOIR.
The Utilities Department is trying to modify an existing
concrete building, in lieu of a new building, at the
southeast corner of the Union Avenue Reservoir site for use
as a permanganate feed structure. In checking for a 10'
minimum setback, per Englewood Building Code, it was
discovered that the building encroached onto Soule Trust
Partnership property by 1-1/2'. When the Partnership was
contacted, it was discovered that one of their building
encroaches onto the City's Union Avenue Reservoir property.
Soule Trust Partnership has agreed to an equal exchange of
the two parcels. The City's exchange parcel is smaller than
what would be received from Soule Partnership, but the City
s benefit is that the situation is resolved in a timely
manner so building modifications for the permanganate feed
can begin on schedule. The City is acquiring approximately
300 square feet in exchange for 400 square feet. The
exchange would satisfy the 10' setback required by Code.
Soule Partnership's attorney and Englewood's City Attorney
have reviewed and agreed to the exchange.
The exchange property is located at the southeast corner of
the Union Avenue Reservoir site at W. Union Avenue and the
South Platte River.
The Water and Sewer Board was contacted on December 18, 1997
for a phone vote, because time was of the essence to begin
construction.
Ms. Higday moved;
Mr. Otis seconded:
Ayes:
Nays:
Members not reached:
Motion carried.
To recommend Council approval
of the land exchange with
Soule Trust at Uniori Ave.
Reservoir.
