The Senior Planner said this variance is requested because although an original
survey from 1998 did not show an encroachment into the rear easement, a new survey
done for a pending sale now shows the pool enclosure encroaching 2.3 feet into the
rear easement. She noted this is not the original owner, there is no negligence, it
would not be prudent to remove the portion encroaching because it could undermine
the pool and staff recommends approval of the variance.
Pat Burklew, representing Mrs. Dacy, said she had utility letters supporting the
abandonment of the easement and asked if there are any questions.
There was no public input in favor of or opposed to the request.
MOTION by Mr. Wright and SECOND by Mr. Gillmor to approve the variance.
Mr. Gillmor asked if there was a deep drainage ditch in the rear. The Planner replied
there was not, that the Public Works Department did not notice anything that would
have any affect on abandoning the easement, and added the phone company had
requested locates of phone lines and they were found to be right on the property line,
so everyone signed off.
