Background: The subject property contains a 1,844 square-foot single family residence constructed in 2008. The applicant is proposing to construct a swimming pool in the rear yard. Subsequently, it was discovered that is a 25-foot drainage easement is located in the rear yard of the property. The Land Development does not permit structures to be located within an easement.
The Environmental Services Department does not have any need for the drainage easement and has no objection to its abandonment to allow the property owner full use of their back yard.
At their regular meeting of July 8, 2020, the Planning and Zoning Board voted to send a favorable recommendation to City Council for the request.
