Approval
Pending
Background
Mike Massey, owner of Lot 39, Block "P" Meadow Run Subdivision (1008 Eden St)

submitted a request for a building permit to the Inspection and Codes

Department at which time he found out that the structure he made application to

have built fell three (3) feet into a drainage and utility easement. All known

utilities have be contacted and agree to the abandonment of no more than three

(3) feet of the existing drainage and utility easement.
Analysis
Mike Massey, owner of Lot 39, Block "P" Meadow Run Subdivision (1008 Eden St)

submitted a request to the Engineering Department requesting a portion of the

existing Drainage and Utility Easement be abandoned in order to construct a 18'

x 30' metal structure on a concrete slab at the rear of his property. After

checking with the utility companies, it is in agreement that a three (3) foot

wide section along the northern edge of the of the existing ten (10) foot

drainage and utility easement can be abandon. Diverspower agreed to only

relinquish the (3) foot wide section leaving the remainder (7) foot on Lot 39,

Block "P". We have found no present or future use of that portion of the

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

effect and providing appropriate width as required by the applicable utility

companies will be required for unknown utilities, repealing any conflicting

ordinances, and for other purposes.
