SUBJECT:
Curtis E. Hawk, City Manager
Bob Whitehead, Director of Public Works
Any action necessary to proceed with granting a sanitary sewer
easement along the westerly property line of City owned Tract 6F,
T.M. Hood Survey, Abstract 706 (also known as former Glosser
Tract) in order for Countryside Bible Church to construct a sanitary
sewer Line
Background
Attached is a letter dated November 6, 1998 from Countryside Bible Church requesting a
sanitary sewer easement across the above referenced property. The sanitary sewer
easement is required in order for the church to connect to the sanitary sewer located in the
Fox Hollow Addition.
Staff has researched the request to determine the closest and most appropriate access
point to an existing sewer line to serve the church. Exhibit 1 shows the proposed route of
the sanitary sewer line required to be constructed to serve Countryside Bible Church.
The nearest connection point to an existing sanitary sewer line is at the end of Fox Glen
in the Fox Hollow development. The proposed sewer line would have to extend
southeasterly from the manhole at the end of Fox Glen along the property line of Lot 9 of
the Fox Hollow development. There is an office building currently being constructed. In
order to complete the sanitary sewer extension, a sanitary sewer easement will also have
to be obtained from the owner of Lot 9; it is our understanding that the church has
already made the necessary agreement with the property owner. The proposed sewer
line would then extend south along the westerly property line of the former Glosser Tract
to the church property. Although there are several oak, cedar elm, and cedar trees along
the property line of the city-owned tract, the sewer line alignment will be offset from the
property line and deflect at certain points; thus there will be minimal damage to the
existing trees in the area.
Until a survey identifying the existing topography and trees along the western side of the
city owned tract is obtained by the church, the exact limits of the proposed sanitary sewer
easement is not known. The easement will be oriented in such a manner so as to
minimize the tree damage during the construction of the sanitary sewer line.

easement along the westerly property line of City owned Tract 6F, T.M. Hood Survey,
Abstract 706 (also known as former Glosser Tract) in order for Countryside Bible
Church to construct a sanitary sewer line. Please place this item on the December 1,

Dear Mr. Hawk,
Countryside Bible Church would like to request an easement 6n the City-owned property
described as "along the western section of Tract 6J out of Ellis Shivers Survey, Abstract 300."
This would allow us to connect to the sewer located in the Fox Hollow Addition. This would
allow Countryside to expand its parking lot to the West o£the present parking lot for greatly
needed additional parking space. Presently that is impossible due to the sewer laterals which are
located in that area.
If you need additional information, please call. Thank you for your consideration of our
request.
Sincerely,
Pastor Tom Watson
