TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request to abandon two drainage easements.
FILE: 822-OB
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
Tim Andrues has applied for the abandonment of two drainage
easements. These easements cross the property owned by Coastwide
Leasing, LP at 8085 Eastex Freeway.
Mr. Andrues states that these easements were originally platted with
the establishment of the Suburban Acres subdivision in the
mid-1950's. With the subsequent construction of the Eastex
Freeway, the drainage was rerouted so as to cross under the freeway
parallel to Lawrence Drive. As a result, these easements are no
longer needed.
Coastwide Leasing has plans to construct a 6,500 sq. ft. multi-tenant
office building on the property. Mr. Andrues states that the purpose
of this abandonment is to provide adequate facilities for the primary
tenant in the new office building.
This item was sent to all interested parties. No negative responses
have been received.
