To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Robert H. Price, P.E., Director of Public Works
Subject: Ordinance No. 1106, 1st Reading, Adopt ordinance to abandon

Action
Requested: Ordinance No. 1106, 1st Reading, Adopt ordinance to abandon a
permanent access and utility easement in a tract of land deeded to
Roger H. Bohannan and wife, Donna as recorded in Volume 11077,
Page 272 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 access and utility easement that is no longer
necessary. The permanent access and utility easement to be
abandoned is on property described as a tract of land deeded to
Roger H. Bohannan and wife, Donna as recorded in Volume 11077,
Page 272 of deed records of Tarrant County, Texas. The unused
permanent access and utility easement is 15 feet wide and extends
from Davis Boulevard east approximately 827 feet. The permanent
access and 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 is actually on a tract of land that is within the City
of Keller. No utilities have been constructed in this easement and
none are planned. Permanent access to City of Southlake utilities
is available through the recently constructed Creekview Addition,
Phase II (Keller) streets. The unused permanent access and utility
easement must be abandoned so that there are no clouds on 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 link's to the City's strategy map
relative to 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. 1106 or deny it.
Staff
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 1106, 1st Reading,
Adopt ordinance to abandon a permanent access and utility
easement in a tract of land deeded to Roger H. Bohannan and wife,
Donna as recorded in Volume 11077, Page 272 of deed records of
Tarrant County.
