Dear Mr. Martin:
SUBJECT: REQUESTED EASEMENT VACATION
LARRY S. NAUGHTEN
MAYOR
PETER E. HAHN
DIRECTOR
In response to your letter requesting the.vacation
of the utility easement on your south property line, our
staff has reviewed your request and, at this time, we feel
that it would not be in the best interest of the City to
vacate the easement. It may be necessary to make improve-
ments to the storm sewer or another utility in the near
future that may require the use of the.easement.
However, you can make a formal -request to have the
easement vacated through the Hearing Examiner, which re-.
quires an application fee. You must submit your application
to the Planning Division.
The Hearing Examiner would base his recommendation on
staff input and other information he feels is relevant to
the matter. After the hearing, the Hearing Examiner would
make his recommendation to the City Council; the City Council
makes the final determination.
We would.be willing to discuss the possibility of re-
ducing the width of the easement to 10' from the existing
15 feet, if this will assist you in any.way. If you would
like to discuss this further, contact either me or Jerry Hauth
at 771-3202 at your convenience.
Sincerely,
J 'S E. , P.E.
City Engineer

SUBJECT: EASEMENT VACATION REQUEST FROM GEORGE S. MARTIN
On June 13, 1985, we received a letter from Mr. Martin
requesting the vacation of a drainage easement on the southerly
15 feet of,lot 14 in the Sea Vista Plat. I went to the site to
determine if there would be a potential for the use of the
easement in the future. I found an established neighborhood with
no obvious areas to be developed in the immediate future.
Examination of the plat indicated the subject easement was
actually a utility easement, rather than a drainage easement as
Mr. Martin had stated. This presented the question: will the
P.U.D., General Telephone, Viacom, or one of the other utility
companys have need for the easement and can we legally vacate the
easement with out their consent?
Bobby Mills indicated that it may be in the City's best
interest to retain the easement, becauses of the proposed work
that will be done upstream in the near future. This work has the
potential to increase the volume of water in the culvert that
drains through the subject area, thereby requiring improvements
to the system which may best be accomplished by installing a new
system in the easement.
Until such time that the other utilities have indicated that
they have no need for the easement and the City feels there is no
potential projects in the future that would require the use of
this easement, I would reccomend that the easement be retained by
the City. However, if Mr. Martin wants to construct something in
the easement area, possibly the City could reduce the width of
the easement from 15 feet to 10 feet.

Fear ter. Martin:

January G, 1IJ6 7
In regard to your inquiry concerning the drainage problem within
the "Plat of Sea Vista", we have in°.vesti ated the site and checked into the
records of the original requirements of this plat. Regults of our inve:ti-
gzation show that tho developer of this plat was requires: to paro,4da adequate
drainage easeriants, culvorts, and channel impmvementa to accaT!n:odate natural
drainage flowing; through thin tract. These items were provided to the
satisfaction of the engineer at the tima of final plat acceptauc e,
We realize that this is no solution to you and your neir'Libora'
problems .with thin drainage, as occurred durinj� our lout heavy rainfall,.
At tho preaennt time, the City will :)e unable to install or cmnntruct a store
sewer t.nroug;h this plat. The courts have held that a city is not autaorined
to construct a culvert or ditch on private property to keep open or conflue
a natural watercourse. ciowever, Uie City is planning, in 'tone future, a
street and major storm drainage improvement program for Nint*. Avenue. At
that titae, there would be a possibility of the City providing adequate
drainage facilities through this area. In tho ;aeantine, we arc, er.ly able
to function in an advisory capacity.
We have found that the existing 12" culvert the installed alonj
the south property line of a portion of Lots 9, 12 and 13 is not adequate to
carry a heavy run-off. We would recommend that an 18" diameter the he installed
from the catcma :>asin lccdt`d at the southeast corner of Lot 14 to the south-
easterly corner of Lot 9; at this paint a catch basin should be located with an
entrance the from the open ditch. This would have to be done by a cooperative
effort of adjoining property owners in whatever manner you are able to consummate.

Prior to constructing this system, a sketch showing depth, grade,
and materials shall be submitted to the City Engineering Department for
approval. The City would maintain the system once it was installed.
If you have any further questions concerning this smatter, please
contact the Engineering Department.
