Agenda Date:
April 11 , 2011
Subject:
A Waterline Utility Easement request from Port Townsend
Department of Public Works.
Statement of Issue:
The City of Port Townsend Department of Public Works (City) is developing a
waterline extension facility that will require an easement for utility purposes across
the Larry Scott Memorial Trail and along a portion of adjacent County owned property
within the Ash Loop neighborhood. Please refer to the Water Main Atlas map attached
with the city's easement request letter.
Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's & Con's:
The easement is necessary to connect an extension line leading from the Pelican
Place right-of-way across County property and will provide a higher quality and more
reliable water supply that will include adequate fire flow for public safety. The City
is seeking a 10 foot wide easement for waterline purposes running southwesterly from
Pelican Place thru County owned parcel, APN 963302902, connecting with Ash Loop
Road (private). The County owned parcel was acquired in May, 1989. The subject
easement should not affect the utility of the trail or adjoining lands once the facilities
are constructed.
Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis:
The City has agreed to provide all plans, permits and survey data as necessary to
construct the project and craft the easement document. The City has also agreed to
pay the County for all administrative expenses incurred with the execution and
recording of the subject easement.

Recommendation:
The Department of Public Works recommends the Board of County Commissioners sign
the attached memo authorizing the Jefferson County Department of Public Works to
work with the City to develop the appropriate Easement document. This
collaboration will insure that the integrity of Larry Scott Memorial Trail and adjoining
County lands are adequately protected through the design, construction and
maintenance of the waterline extension project as proposed by the City. The
Department of Public Works will provide the Board an original document for their
review and execution as soon as practicable. The Board will be provided a copy of
the fully recorded document once filed with the Jefferson County Auditor.
