Title
Ordinance - Approval of an Ordinance Requesting to Abandon Two Permanent Drainage Easements Relating to the Somerset Phase Three 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 Permanent Drainage Easements relating to the Somerset Phase Three 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 Two 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 the Somerset Phase Three Addition 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
