The utility easement I desire to have abandoned, is the last lot in the Glen Oaks
Addition, in the north end of Beaumont, being block 1, lot 38, or 4665 Glen
Oaks Cr., and adjoining my residential homestead lot. The lot is 60' wide, and the
addition has a 10' easement on the north side, running full length of the lot, which
is the end, or last lot of the addition. No utilities have ever used this easement in
the past 18 years that I have owned the lot. I would like to build a house on it, but
to build one comparable to the adjoining homes, 50 feet is too narrow. I would
appreciate your cordial consideration, to abandon this easement since it should
not presents any problems to anyone. I own the property on both sides of the
easement.
