The dimensions of the existing easement, the <br />proposed easement, and the legal description are described on the attached <br />drawings. The existing easement was dedicated for ponding and flowage purposes. <br />The property owner has requested this change because the existing easement <br />configuration will not accommodate his proposed house and hanger. There is also a <br />taxiway easement on the property that will be left unaltered. <br />Rice Creek Watershed District has reviewed and approved of the proposed change <br />as shown on the attached correspondence dated March 5, 2001.

The Ordinance will require two readings, <br />publication, and a waiting period before it is in effect.
