Date: May 11, 2004
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: APPROVE VACATION OF THE PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT ON LOTS
22 THROUGH 27 OF SOMERSET SUBDIVISION, THIRTEENTH ADDITION.
BACKGROUND:
On April 13, 2004, the Somerset Developers sent a letter to the Mayor and City Council
requesting that the public utility easement on the north 10' of Lots 22, 23, 24, 25, 26,
and 27 in Somerset Subdivision, Thirteenth Addition be vacated. This request is, in
part, due to the Somerset Development Guidelines requiring a porch or stoop to be built
past the building setback line. With the topography sloping toward the front by almost 6'
in this area, several steps will need to be constructed that will encroach into the existing
public utility easement.
Staff from the Planning and Housing, Public Works, and Electric Departments have
investigated this request with the Developers and found that no utilities are currently
located in this easement. It was also found that no right-of-way users are planning to
use this easement.
ALTERNATIVES: .
1. Approve vacation of the public utility easement on Lots 22 - through 27 in
Somerset Subdivision, Thirteenth Addition.
2. Retain easement as granted.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the -City Council adopt alternative
number one, thereby approving the vacation of the public utility easement on Lots 22
through 27 in Somerset Subdivision, Thirteenth Addition.
