Analysis
The abandonment applicants, Adam Brass and Doreen Brass, have requested the abandonment of a of 7.5-foot utility easement on the south side of their lot. This proposed abandonment will assist to restore proper drainage around their existing pool.

Staff has reviewed the requested abandonment and finds that the abandonment of the 7.5-foot utility easement would not hinder drainage or utilities in the area. Existing drainage patterns must be maintained and not blocking on-coming drainage from uphill lots.

Financial Consideration
Revenue: $250.00 paid with application
