O.      Resolution Authorizing the conveyance of Easement Rights to Evergreen Walk Lifestyle Center, LLC, Evergreen Walk Master Associates, Inc. and Evergreen Walk, LLC, or their Designees

        BE IT RESOLVED that the South Windsor Town Council hereby authorizes the conveyance of easements to Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 on a certain map entitled “Map Showing Easements To Be Acquired From Town of South Windsor Buckland Road South Windsor Connecticut Proj. No. 2000 481 A10 Date:  10/23/03 Sheet 1 of 2” Prepared By Fuss & O’Neill Inc.

        BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Resolution shall become effective upon its approval by the Town electors at a referendum called by the Town Council for such purpose.

ITEM:

17.     O.      (continued)

Was made by Councillor Bazzano
Seconded by Councillor Pelkey

Councillor Yagaloff suggested an Amendment to the Resolution which would place the value of $130,000 instead of no consideration.  Councillor McCann seconded the amendment.

Answering questions from the Council, Town Attorney Duncan Forsyth explained that the amount for the granting of the easement rights is a decision the Town Council has to make, but no consideration is technically appropriate.  Any money collected for this transaction would get returned to the State.

Deputy Mayor Prague stated that the legislative intent five to six years ago was to give the land and there should not be a value placed on this transaction.

Councillor Havens stated that the town will not gain anything by placing a value on the referendum and he urged the other members of the Town Council to approve the resolution without the amendment.

Councillor McCann felt that the only benefit on placing a dollar amount in the referendum would be to benefit the electors because they might not read the referendum favorably.  

Councillor Pelkey stated that the Town followed the access management plan to choose the location of the driveway.  If putting a value in the resolution/agreement will ward off a potential lawsuit, then Councillor Pelkey felt it would be necessary.

Councillor Bazzano felt that after five years the Town should not turn around and put a value on this property and get money from Evergreen Walk.  The main concern here is to bring this issue to referendum.

(Resolution Continued on Next Page)
ITEM:

17.     O.      (continued)

Public Participation

Mr. Robert Dickinson, addressStreet19 Birch Road felt that the Town had prior negotiations with the developer and should stick to what was agreed upon at that time.  The residents should be informed.

Attorney Wayne Gerlt, stated that he would oppose no consideration.  If the Town is selling easements for infrastructure, money does not go to the State.

Mr. Craig Stevenson, Economic Development Consultant came before the Council and explained that this project has never received any incentives from the Town.  The developer had the sole burden of the cost of the entire project.  Sewers would not have been developed in that area without Evergreen Walk being developed there.  Whatever the Council decides will send a message to the developer as other development in the area is being considered.  These conveyances were made for infrastructure, but that is private infrastructure.

ITEM:

17.     O.      (continued)

Councillor Yagaloff stated he would not support this amendment because it is clear that the worth of this property is over $25,000
