RE: PROPERTY AT 2365 HIGHWAY 66, ASHLAND
Dear Mr. Rickert:
The sanitary sewer line that serves your restaurant at 2365 Highway 66, as well as the
Knight's Inn Motel, was installed in the late 1960's. A recent video inspection of the
sewer line has shown some severe deterioration in the old concrete pipe and we will need
to replace the entire sewer line as quickly as possible. In researching the construction of
this sewer line, we \vere unable to locate the easement document that should be in place
to allow the City to maintain and replace the pipeline. To correct this deficiency we
would like to acquire an easelnent across the northerly \ 0 feet of a portion of your
property as shown on the attached map. The easement would cross the entire width of
Bob Brodeur's property (Knight's Inn Motel) and would extend approximately 50 feet
into your property.
1 have taken the liberty of preparing a draft easement document for your review. Of
course there would be no charge to you for any of this process and the result will be a
Inuch more durable and trouble free sewer line. The work can be done with little or no
disruption to the restaurant and the entire process should only require a week or so to
complete. The restaurant will be given several days notice prior to the work beginning.
If you would like n10re information regarding the sewer line and the need for replacement
work you may contact Terry Ellis, Public Works Superintendent at 541-552-2325. If you
have any questions regarding the easetnent document or if you would like changes nlade
to the easement please feel free to call me at 541-488-5347.
Sincerely,
