MEETING DATE: January 27, 2003 <br />TOPIC: First Reading of Ordinance No. 03 -03: <br />Vacation of a portion of a drainage and utility <br />easement for Lot 2, Block 2, Pheasant Hills <br />Preserve 4th Addition <br />Dale Vancil <br />1561 Merganser Court <br />ACTION REQUIRED: 3/5 vote <br />BACKGROUND <br />Mr. Dale Vancil has submitted an application for the vacation of a portion of a drainage <br />and utility easement on his property, located at 1561 Merganser Court, in the Pheasant <br />Hills Preserve 4th Addition. Mr. Vancil is asking for the vacation of an approximately <br />295 sq.ft. area to the rear of his home so that he can construct a home addition and patio <br />area. <br />This matter came to the attention of City building inspectors when the applicant applied <br />for a building permit. At that point, the applicant was advised that most of the backyard <br />of the property was covered by a drainage and utility easement and that the proposed <br />addition would encroach into the easement area and thus not be allowed. Since the area <br />to be built upon was already sodded and did not appear to the applicant to be reasonably <br />part of the wetland area, which he understood the easement area to protect, Mr. Vancil <br />then contacted City Engineer Jim Studenski to ask for a vacation of the easement area. <br />Item 7C 1 <br />
