Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This ordinance approves a donation of a 1.88 acre parcel, an access and parking easement, and a participation agreement between the Metropolitan Boards of Parks and Recreation (“Metro Parks”), and GS Rivergate Apartments, LLC (“Greystar”) for park improvements at 300 Connair Drive.
Greystar owns these 1.88 acres and proposes to donate the property to the Metropolitan Government. Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-9-305 and Metropolitan Charter § 2.01, the Metropolitan Government may accept donations of property interests for the purpose of establishing greenways and providing the public with recreational opportunities in natural areas.
The access and parking easement would allow Greystar to reserve a driveway access easement upon, over, and across the parcel that would be donated to Metro Parks. A parking easement would also be reserved on the parcel.
The participation agreement between Metro Parks and Greystar provides the right for Greystar to enter the parcel to maintain landscaping on the property. Greystar shall keep, maintain, and replace the landscaping in good condition at its own expense.
