Easement Abandonment Justification Abandon utility , easement contained in Instrument No. o D195049555 Easement no longer has a purposefor o ame public use asement is contained within a platted n' A subdivision Simplifies recordings of 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. 5 City of Southlake Strategy Map © The City of Southlake provides municipal services that support the highest quality of life for our residents and businesses_ we do this by delivering outstanding value and unrivaled quality in everything we do.
