FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for the abandonment of a 30' x 70.52'
portion of an unnamed street and drainage easement
FILE: 744-OB
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
Harry Fuller has applied for the abandonment of a 30' x 70.52'
portion of an unnamed street and drainage easement. The subject
property is approximately 118' east of dead-end of Kipling Drive.
Mr. Fuller states that is adjacent to a DD#6 right-of-way and is a
dead-end section hat has not been used since deeded to the City by
the subdivision developer in 1956. He owns the lot directly adjacent
to the easement as well as the two contiguous lots. His lots all front
on Kipling.
Mr. Fuller states that the adjacent lots on Littlewood are higher than
the adjacent lots on Kipling. Mr. Fuller says that this creates a
flooding and water log condition on the Kipling lots. He would like to
lower part of the easement and place a drainage conduit to the DD#6
drainage ditch near the property. Mr. Fuller wishes to build on the
lot immediately adjacent to the subject property.
The City of Beaumont Engineering Division and Time Warner Cable
originally objected to the abandonment. The City Engineer has since
retracted his objection and has granted approval. It has been
determined that Time Warner Cable=s facilities are located within the
utility easement along the rear of Mr. Fuller=s property and not within
the street and drainage easement.
Exhibits are attached.
