Description

Pertaining to an encroachment agreement with 1215 Hawthorne Avenue East to allow the continuation of private use on Board of Water Commissioners land between Hawthorne Avenue East and Orange Avenue East.

Summary

Saint Paul Regional Water Services recommends approval of Board Resolution 26-1511, authorizing an encroachment agreement with Hank T. Cu and Ruby N. Nguyen, owners of 1215 Hawthorne Avenue East. An existing home addition and deck extend about 10 feet onto Board of Water Commissioners property that is no longer needed for water infrastructure. The agreement allows the improvements to remain but prohibits expansion or new structures on Board land. The owners must maintain the encroachment at their expense, accept the risk of damage or emergency removal, and indemnify the Board against related claims. The agreement will be recorded and bind future owners. The Board retains full ownership and access rights, and execution requires attorney approval.
