DATE: July 17, 2006
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for an abandonment of the 30' drainage and
utility easement on Lots 5 & 6, Block 6, Fleetwood Addition
FILE: 695-OB
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends denial of this request.
James and Naomi Carter are requesting the abandonment of the 30'
drainage and utility easement along the rear of their property at
4230 Pierre. The Carters wish to install a swimming pool in their
backyard.
This item was sent to all interested parties. Water Utilities states
that there is an 8" sanitary sewer line in this easement. Because
there are homes to the west of the subject property that are served by
this line, the entire sewer line would have to be moved. Therefore,
Water Utilities recommends denial of this request. AT&T also objected
to the abandonment. AT&T has an existing copper communications
cable in the easement.
Exhibits are attached.
