FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: Consider a request for abandonment of a 20' x 150' utility easement.
FILE: 891-OB
STAFF REPORT
Garrett Carter, for Hankins Development, has requested abandonment of a 20' x 150' utility
easement located at 2290 Gulf Street. Hankins Development plans to construct a retail store at
this location, but the easement in question divides the property. An existing sewer line and
manhole in the easement would no longer be needed. The south approximately 40' of the
easement would remain intact, allowing the applicant to tie-in the sewer discharge from the new
structure.
This item was sent to all interested parties.
The Planning staff recommends approval of the request.
