SUBJECTS Vacated North-South alley in Block 16 of Borne's Addition
I have checked with the Electric Department and Gas Company and it is
obvious that both overhead and underground easements will be required
on this vacated alley. I understand Darrel Weber is giving you a hand
written note from the Electric Department. I would reconvnend that a
utility easement be established over the entire width of the vacated
alley to cover both overhead and underground installations. This
utility easement should give the right to the City to extend these
rights to private utilities including the Franchise Gas Company, Telephone
Company and Cable T.V. .
At the present time most of these utilities are overhead with the
exception of the Gas Company, which has a high pressure gas main some-
where near the center of this alley. This encumbrance should not prevent
the construction of fences of the property owner but should prevent the
construction of a building over the property.
