FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER IV
MEETING DATE: JUNE 6, 2000
SUBJECT: UTILITY EASEMENT ABANDONMENT — LOT 13R, BLOCK 1 ,
WESTOVER ADDITION, PHASE II
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider adopting an ordinance abandoning a 2.5 foot wide portion of an
existing 7.5 foot wide utility easement along the rear property line of Lot 13R, Block 1,
Westover Addition and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The owner of the subject property has requested that the City abandon a 2.5 foot wide
portion of an existing 7.5 foot wide utility easement to remove an encroachment that was
created through the construction of a swimming pool and spa.
The request to abandon 2.5 feet of the existing 7.5 foot utility easement will result in the
City retaining a 5.0 foot utility easement for the future construction and/or maintenance of
the public utility system.
Staff recommends approval.
