Background

Homeowners John D. Johnston, Jr. and Carol W. Johnston submitted a variance

request in order to build a 10' x 22' addition to their home known as Lot 27

Block "D" located in Green Island Hills Subdivision at which time he was

notified that the structure addition fell into an exiting 10' drainage and

utility easement. All known utilities have been contacted and agree to the

abandonment of the 10' existing drainage and utility easement running along the

north side of the property line approximately 265.94 feet as shown on the

highlighted survey.

Analysis

William Pound, Esq., Attorney for the homeowners John D. Johnston, Jr. and

Carol W. Johnston, submitted a request to the Engineering Department requesting

the entire 10' drainage and utility easement be abandoned in order to construct

a 10' x 22' closet addition to the existing house. After checking with the

utility companies, it is in agreement that the entire existing 10' easement

along the north side of the property line for approximately 265.94 feet can be

abandon. The Engineering Department has found no present or future use of

existing easement. The remainders of all utility easements of record in effect

and providing with as required by the applicable utility companies will be

required for unknown utilities, repealing any conflicting ordinances, and for

other purposes.
