(November 4, 2014)
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Robert H. Price, P.E., Director of Public Works
Subject: Ordinance No.1105, 1st Reading, Adopt ordinance to abandon a

Action
Requested:
Ordinance No.1105, 1st Reading, Adopt ordinance to abandon a
permanent utility easement in a tract of land deeded to Garry,
Sharon and David Tennyson as recorded in Volume 11077, Page
262 of deed records of Tarrant County.
Background
Information:
Terra Creekview, LLC., the developer of the Creekview Addition,
Phase II (City of Keller) has requested the abandonment of an
existing permanent utility easement that is no longer necessary.
The permanent utility easement to be abandoned is on property
described as a tract of land deeded to Garry, Sharon and David
Tennyson as recorded in Volume 11077, Page 262 of deed records
of Tarrant County, Texas and located at 1361 Davis Blvd. The
unused permanent utility easement is 15 feet wide and extends
from Davis Boulevard southeasterly approximately 813 feet. The
permanent utility easement was granted to the City in early 1993 for
a sanitary sewer trunk line that serves the most southwesterly area
of the City. This particular easement was granted to the City of
Southlake; but the sanitary sewer line is actually located on a tract
of land that is within the City of Keller. The sanitary sewer line was
constructed, but, did not align with this easement that is being
abandoned. A separate easement that encompasses the sanitary
sewer line was granted in late 1993. The unused permanent utility
easement must be abandoned so that there are no clouds on the
title during future property transactions.
Financial
Considerations: The filing fees for recording the Quit Claim Deed in Tarrant County
records will be the only costs associated with the abandonment of
the easement.
Strategic Link: The easement abandonment links to the City's strategy map
relative to Corporate Focus Area of Quality Development.
Citizen Input/
Board Review: None
Legal
Review: The ordinance has been reviewed by the City Attorney's office.
Alternatives: The City Council may approve Ordinance No. 1105 or deny it.
Staff
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No.1105, 1st Reading,
Adopt ordinance to abandon a permanent utility easement in a
tract of land deeded to Garry, Sharon and David Tennyson as
recorded in Volume 11077, Page 262 of deed records of Tarrant
County.
