Background <br /> In the late 1990's the City of Grand Island, Hall County, and the Nebraska Department of <br /> Roads entered into. an interiocal agreement and amendments thereto relative to the <br /> construction of an interchange at the location of South Locust Street and Interstate 80 and <br /> the construction of a new four lane South Locust Street between the city and Interstate <br /> &O. The agreement provided, in part, that Hall County would acquire the necessary right- <br /> of-way for the project. In order to address environmental concerns of the Nebraska <br /> Game and Parks Commission and Federal Fish and Wildlife Service, Hall County agreed <br /> to acquire conservation easements upon properties surrounding the interchange area and <br /> the City agreed to be the grantee of the easements, with the duty to monitor and enforce <br /> compliance with the terms of the easements. Pursuant to agreements between the various <br /> governmental entities and agencies, the terms of a conservation easement cannot be <br /> amended or changed by the City and a landowner unless such amendment or change is <br /> approved by the County of Hall, the Nebraska Department of Roads, and the Nebraska <br /> Game and Parks Commission. <br /> The owner of Tract #32 entered into a real estate purchase agreement with a buyer. The <br /> owner and buyer are requesting the conservation easement be amended, as the easement <br /> does not specifically provide authorization to use this 13 acre tract for a single-family <br /> residence even though a residence existed on the property When the easement teas <br /> acquired. The buyer has plans to remove the existing residence and construct a new <br /> residence on the property. <br /> The current conservation easement grants the continuing right to use the land for "[I]he <br /> construction of single family dwellings, restricted to one dwelling per 20-acre area or <br /> greater." The buyer and seller are requesting that the language in the previous quotations <br /> be deleted and replaced with the following: "The construction and occupancy of a single <br /> family dwelling, restricted to one single family dwelling upon the Property," All other <br /> provision of the conservation easement would remain unchanged and in full force and <br /> effect <br /> • <br />
