SUBJECT: DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENT ABANDONMENT — LOT 8,
BLOCK 1, HIGH OAKS ESTATES
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider adopting an ordinance abandoning a 25 foot drainage and utility

necessary action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The owner of Lot 8, Block 1, High Oaks Estates is requesting that the 25 foot drainage and
utility easement along the rear of the lot be abandoned. The abandonment is for the
construction of a pool.
In exchange for the abandonment, the owner is re -dedicating a variable width drainage and
utility easement along the rear of the lot. The easement will be 25 foot in width for a
distance of 53 feet from the southern property line. The easement will then reduce to a 15
foot width for the remaining lot width (111.68 feet). There is an existing sanitary sewer line
at the southern edge of the property. The 25 foot easement width will accommodate this
line.
Public Works and the franchise utilities are amenable to this abandonment and re-
dedication.
Staff recommends approval.
