attached map). Only a very small sliver of the corridor now protrudes onto the remainder of the • educational. campus. This sliver of easement corridor was necessary to design around a stream buffer on the elementary school site. In staffs opinion, this redesign has negated the impacts on the remainder of the campus. The easement language includes a provision, similar to that included in the previous easement, that allows for open space and future trails in the easement corridor. For some time now, the County has been working on acost-sharing arrangement with M/I Homes and Priority Development, the two landowners to the south of Twin Creeks that are involved in the off-site sewer extension to the school. Acost-share agreement has been developed by the County Attorney and attorneys for the landowners that will split the cost of construction of the sewer extension among the County, M/I Homes and Priority Development. This agreement is attached. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with the granting of the sewer easement. The cost of the sewer line construction is addressed within the capital project ordinance for Elementary School #10. The proposed cost-share agreement involves a cost share for sewer construction among the County, Mll Homes and Priority Development. The County's share of the cost of the off-site sewer extension is $82,941 (out of a total of $219,931), with provisions for sharing any additional costs for rock removal as noted in Exhibit F of the proposed agreement. Funding for the County's share of the sewer construction covered by the cost-share agreement is included in the Twin Creeks Infrastructure capital project. Specific amounts will be brought back for approval in a capital project ordinance at a subsequent time. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that: 1. The Board approve the easement document granting a sanitary sewer easement to OWASA as depicted on the map attached to this abstract which easement will be finalized by the County Attorney when the revised utility easement map is prepared by the architecture and engineering firm for the Schools, and 2. Authorize the County Manager to execute, on behalf of the County, the cost-share agreement, including any changes to it that are approved by the County Manager and the County Attorney, provided said changes do not substantially alter the agreement in the form attached. t
