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.
Fittz & Shipman, Inc. is requesting the abandonment of a 5' x 101'
sanitary sewer easement and a 2.5' x 43' sanitary easement located
on property at the northwest corner of Chamberlin and College.
With the abandonment of these easements and an adjacent easement
to the east, the properties will better accommodate development. A
proposed 15' utility easement is to be dedicated at the north end of
the property to replace the abandoned easement.
This item was sent to all interested parties. Water Utilities
recommends denial of this request. There is a 10" sanitary sewer line
located in the existing easement. This line serves properties east of
Chamberlin and west of Lindbergh. Water Utilities states that the
line cannot be relocated.
Exhibits are attached.
