UTILITY EAS EMENT -KENT BAL LARD
Mr. Parker owner of lot 15, block 2, section 4 of Cowards Creek Subdivision is requesting the use of a 16 foot covered utility easement for positioning his house on his lot. The lot has a 30 foot drainage easement and a 16 foot utility easement. It is his understanding the utility easement is not currently in use, and further, that there is another recorded utility easemen t on the other side of the drainage easemen t.
City Manager sent a copy of his recom mend ation letter to the Com mission (M&C 82-47).
He feels it is not a good idea for the City to unc onditional ly release utility easements because of the potential future need of such easem ents. He believes the in te rests of the City would best be served if the pr operty owner would write a letter to the City and al l other utility co m panies re qu esting the use of the easement with the understanding that if any of the utility com pa nie s require th e us age of the eas ement, any cons truction, planting, etc., belonging to the ow ner of the lot would have to be replaced at the lot ow ner's expense with no liability on the part of the Ci ty or the utility com panies. Upon acceptance of his re quest by the City and the utility companies , the instrument should be recorded in the county deed re cords in order that any
