Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Consider a request for an abandonment of a 5' x 101' sanitary sewer easement and a 2.5' x 43' sanitary sewer easement. FILE: 707-OB STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request subject to the relocation of the sanitary sewer line at the expense of the property owner.
