Dear Mr. Martin:.
BEAUMONT T E X A S
We have checked in the field the ten foot alley running north.
and south in Block #141 of Pinecrest Addition and also the twenty
foot alley running east and west in the.same block and the same
addition. At the north,end of the ten foot alley adjacent to
Hayes Lane, we have a terminal pole on which our conductors dead-
end coming out of the alley on the north side of Hayes Lane and
on this terminal pole, we have a down guy to keep the pole from
falling into Hayes Lane.
We have examined a replat of Block #141, Pinecrest Addition, made
by George. J. Schaumburg dated September.11, 1959 which would keep
this present ten foot alley open for a distance of sixty-four feet
from' the south property line of Hayes Lane to a new fifteen foot
utility easement running east and west.
Unless some similar replat was obtained or adopted by the City
Planning & Zoning Commission, we do not see how we could allow
the present ten foot al1.ey from Hayes Lane to Utica Street to be
closed. As to the twenty foot alley or utility easement running
east and west from Bethlehem Street to the above mentioned ten
foot alley being closed, we do not offer any objection whatsoever
and meets with the approval of this company.
Yours very truly,

This refers to your letter of September 16, concerning the petition of
the owners of Block 1413 Pinecrest"Addition, in which they request that
the easements be abandoned. At the present time, we area using a portion
of the easement at the rear of Lots 4, 5, 6 and 7 for an anchor to sup-
port our facilities extending north of Hays Street in the matching ease-
ments in this direction. It had been our plan to use this easement to
serve Lots 4, 5, 6 and 7 when houses were constructed on them.
However, it is our understanding that the of-mers now plan to replat this
block so that a 68 foot lot will face on Cleveland and a similar width
lot will face on Bethlehem, and six, 50 foot lots will face on Utica
Street. If this is the intention, we will wish to retain the existing
easement for a distance equal to the width of the lot facing on Cleve-
land and will also need a five foot new easement of the same length off
the back of the 68 foot lot facing on Bethlehem Street. In addition,
we will require an additional 30 feet for anchor purposes. This will
result in the retention of 98 feet of the present existing easement.
It is assumed that the normal 15 foot easement will be provided at the
rear of the lots to be replatted to face on Utica.
