The abandonment applicants, HP Civil Engineering as property owner representatives have requested the abandonment of two 20-foot by 20-foot drainage easements on the south side of this property and abandonment of a large variable width drainage easement containing 2.2355 acres on the east side of the addition (see aerial map). The three drainage easements are considered as un-necessary with the proposed Avilla Heritage Addition (see plat as exhibit “B”). A new 25-drainage easement is being proposed to the replace the old larger one.
All public utility companies have agreed to the abandonment. The property owner, Nexmetro Heritage, LP, is proposing single family, rental housing on this property. No subdivision is required. The surplus drainage easement tracts being abandoned are shown as exhibit “A”.
Staff has reviewed the requested abandonment and finds that the abandonment will not hinder drainage or utilities in the area.
