future property sales Construction Easement
The unused drainage easement consists of an area measuring 80' x100' which is
0.1836 Acres. Toll Brothers is requesting the drainage easement abandonment
which encompasses a considerable amount of area on Lot 8. A new home was
recently built on Lot 8 and the recording of the permanent drainage easement has
made the transaction of the property sale cumbersome. Lot 9 has a home built on
the property therefore it is incumbent upon the City to abandon the drainage
easement which encompasses both lots. The City has no purpose for this
easement.
Updating the public records regarding this easement will simplify future negotiations
of property sales by both the land owners and the City of Southlake.
