Title

Ordinance - Approval of an Ordinance Requesting to Abandon Certain Drainage Easements Relating to the Somerset Addition to Bloomfield Homes, L.P.

 

Requested Action

To consider the subject easement abandonment.

 

Recommendation

The Engineering Staff recommends the approval of the request to abandon the Drainage Easements relating to the Somerset Addition to Bloomfield Homes, L.P.

 

Description/History

These drainage easements were created to accommodate off-site temporary drainage improvements for the previously constructed Somerset Phase 3 Addition.  The drainage improvements consisted only of earthen open channels and no permanent infrastructure.  The abandonment of these easements was anticipated and is necessary to develop Somerset Phases 4, 4B, and 5A as shown in the approved Somerset Development Plan.  These open channels will be filled and the storm water will now be conveyed in a storm drain system within street right-of-way.

 

Justification

The City currently has no public drainage infrastructure within the easement and does not anticipate needing it in the future.

 

Funding Source

No Funding Necessary
