Item 6EItem 6E CITY OF SOUTH LAKE MEMORANDUM (March 3, 2015) To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager From: Robert H. Price, P.E., Director of Public Works Subject: Ordinance No. 1115, 2nd Reading, Adopt ordinance to abandon permanent water, sewer and drainage easement as recorded in instrument D208339849 of the Deed Records of Tarrant County, Texas, situated in the Thomas M. Hood Survey Abstract No. 706, in the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, being part of a 72.734 acre tract as described in County Clerk File No. D206217962 of the Deed Records of Tarrant County, Texas and being more particularly described as Shady Oaks Phase 1A. (Approved at first reading February 17, 2015.) Action Requested: Ordinance No. 1115, 2nd Reading, Adopt ordinance to abandon permanent water, sewer and drainage easement as recorded in instrument D208339849 of the Deed Records of Tarrant County, Texas, situated in the Thomas M. Hood Survey Abstract No. 706, in the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, being part of a 72.734 acre tract as described in County Clerk File No. D206217962 of the Deed Records of Tarrant County, Texas and being more particularly described as Shady Oaks Phase 1A. (Approved at first reading February 17, 2015.) Background Information: Public Works is recommending that the City abandon an unused water, sewer and drainage easement. The easement to be abandoned is on property described as Thomas M. Hood Survey, Abstract No. 706, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at approximately 800 Shady Oaks Dr. The unused water, sewer and drainage easement is 50 feet wide and extends south from the end of Whittington Place in the Shady Oaks subdivision. The water, sewer and drainage easement was granted to the City in 2008. Terra/Shady Oaks, L.P. has completed construction and relocated the utilities that were in this easement to permanent right of way; therefore, the easement is no longer necessary. Shady Oaks Phase 1A was constructed in 2008. At that time, the approved development plan showed Whittington Place to continue south in a future phase. The utilities were extended from beyond pavement constructed with Phase 1A for easier connection in a future phase. In 2009, a revised development plan was approved with an altered street layout that no longer showed Whittington Place continuing south with the future phase. Had Whittington place been extended as originally approved, the easement would have been an underlying easement in public right of way. The revised development plan from 2009 created residential lots that are now encumbered by the water, sewer and drainage easement that is no longer in use. This item was approved by Council at first reading on the February 17, 2015 agenda. Financial Considerations: The filing fee costs for recording the new Quit Claim Deed in Tarrant County records will be the only additional costs associated with the abandonment of this 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 is under review by the City Attorney's office. Alternatives: The City Council may approve Ordinance No. 1115 or deny it. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 1115, 2nd Reading, Adopt ordinance to abandon permanent water, sewer and drainage easement as recorded in instrument D208339849 of the Deed Records of Tarrant County, Texas, situated in the Thomas M. Hood Survey Abstract No. 706, in the City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, being part of a 72.734 acre tract as described in County Clerk File No. D206217962 of the Deed Records of Tarrant County, Texas and being more particularly described as Shady Oaks Phase 1 A.
