RE: To provide for the granting by the City of Richmond to Henrico County, Virginia two non-exclusive easements and one right-of-way across certain portions of City-owned property known as 5801 Monument Avenue.

ORD. OR RES No. _____________________________________________________________
PURPOSE: To provide for the granting by the City of Richmond to Henrico County, Virginia two non-exclusive easements and one right-of-way over, under, through, upon, and across certain portions of City-owned property known as 5801 Monument Avenue for the installation of a large sidewalk project to increase pedestrian access, connectivity, safety and all equipment, accessories, and appurtenances necessary, in accordance with a certain Deed of Temporary Easement.
BACKGROUND: The subject parcel located at 5801 Monument Ave. is property owned by the City of Richmond that is located in Henrico County and is identified as Tax Parcel ID No. GPIN: 769-737-2581 in the 2025 records of the County of Henrico Finance Department’s Real Estate Assessment Division. This parcel, along with another parcel located at 5800 Monument Ave., was dedicated from the West View Land and Improvement Company to the City of Richmond on July 9, 1923. The parcel located at 5801 Monument Ave. is currently assessed at $99,800.00 (2025).
NOTE: the City of Richmond surplused and conveyed the parcel located across the street known as 5800 Monument Ave. to Henrico County in 1979. This was done via ordinance #91-12-79. The subject parcel has remained with the City since the dedication.
The County of Henrico will be constructing accommodations to increase pedestrian access, connectivity, and safety improvements along Monument Avenue, including the portion of the City-owned parcel located at 5801 Monument Ave. Work is being planned to construct:
• Approximately 2,200 linear feet of new sidewalk along the southern side of Monument Avenue from Bremo Road to Treboy Avenue.
• Associated ADA ramps.
• Upgrades to transit stop within project limits.
• Pedestrian signals and crossings.
This request is for the completion of two temporary construction easements and one right-of-way as shown on the attached plat, prepared by H&B Surveying and Mapping, LLC, dated April 9, 2025. This upgrade more specifically will include:
TCE#1 - the 82± sf (0.002 ac) temporary construction easement is planned to aid in bus stop construction. The bus pad itself and grading area are all within existing right of way. The temporary construction easement will give the contractors room to work around the site grading and put in perimeter controls such as silt fence.
TCE#2 - the larger 189± sf (0.0064 ac) temporary construction easement will be used similarly to provide construction crews room to work and tie in grading where the existing sidewalk along Libbie Avenue will connect into the proposed sidewalk and curb ramp along Monument Avenue.
ROW - the proposed right of way is for a new ADA curb ramp as well as for the area where the curb ramp ties into the existing sidewalk.
This easement and right-of-way request is for a 5-year term.
