Re: Permanent Easement Required for Utility Lines and Sidewalks
Adjacent to Dedham Street
Dear Resident:
The Town of Canton during the installation ofthe asphalt sidewalks
along Dedham Street became aware of water lines that were installed
sometime in the past along the edge and within properties on Dedham Street
from Eagle Drive to Devonshire Street. A portion ofthe sidewalk was
installed on one or more properties approximately six or more inches over
the property line.
At the next Annual Town Meeting, the Town would like to approve
the acquisition fora 15 foot wide permanent utility and sidewalk easement
along your property adjacent to Dedham Street. You should know that the
Town of Canton will incur legal and appraisal costs if you seek
compensation for a permanent utility easement. The Town must under
federal regulation advise you it is your right and our obligation, to notify you
of this fact.
It is our hope that you will voluntarily grant to the Town at no cost, a
permanent utility easement for the water line locations on your property. It is
our hope that we can obtain your approval for the permanent utility
easement for the next Annual Town Meeting.
In the event work or repairs are necessary on your property it will be
restored to at least the condition it was prior to the work or in some casesSource page 4
possibly improve, depending on how any required repair work to the utility
line interfaces with your property. In total, there are five residential private
properties involved with this request,(177 Dedham Street, 175 Dedham
Street, 173 Dedham Street, 171 Dedham Street and 2 Devonshire Drive).
We would be happy to have a meeting at your convenience, to discuss
the location ofthe permanent utility and sidewalk easements related to this
request. Or alternatively, we can have a representative from our office visit
you(or call you) at your home to show you "in the field" the location ofthe
utility easement and how it is related to your property.
I have attached a copy ofthe proposed location ofthe utility easement
surveyed and prepared by the Norfolk County Engineering Department.
If you have further questions or would like to request a meeting or a
visit please calls us at 781-821-5063 or e-mail lgrega@town.canton.ma.us.
Sincerely,
James Donovan,P.E.
