A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF HOMER, ALASKA, GRANTING A LIMITED PRIVATE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS EASEMENT ALONG THE NORTH WALL OF LAND’S END HOTEL AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTS.

WHEREAS, Land’s End Acquisition Corporation is requesting a limited private access easement for the purpose of providing pedestrian emergency egress from the Land’s End Quarter deck on the second floor and the Chart Room on the first floor; and

WHEREAS, City of Homer End of the Road Park and associated tideland abut the Land’s End Hotel building; and

WHEREAS, This easement will provide a 5 foot wide by 35 foot long egress easement to allow for construction of two  new stairways; and

WHEREAS, Land’s End Acquisition Corporation has agreed to pay all survey and legal associated fees with such easement; and

WHEREAS, Land’s End Acquisition Corporation will hold the City harmless and will be responsible for the construction and maintenance of the stairways; and

WHEREAS, The City retains the right to terminate the easement with a 90-day notice.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Homer, Alaska grants a limited private pedestrian access easement along the north wall of Land’s End Hotel and authorizes the City Manager to execute the appropriate documents.
