Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, recently received a request from Anthony Williams, on behalf of M/I Schottenstein Homes, Inc., asking that the City release the easterly 5 feet of an existing platted easement on Lot 27 of Asherton Woods (of record in Plat Book 102, Pages 94 and 95) in exchange for the dedication of a 5 foot wide easement along the east line of Reserve "A" of the same plat. The release of the requested portion of this platted easement will allow for a larger building lot that will accommodate a dwelling comparable to those planned for the neighboring lots. After investigation it has been determined there are no utilities currently located within this easement and that the release of the requested portion of the platted easement in exchange for a replacement easement will not adversely affect future utility services to the subdivision. A value of $500.00 has been established for the release of this easement.
The City will receive a total of $500.00, to be deposited in Fund 748, Project 537650, as consideration for the release of the requested portion of this platted easement in exchange for a replacement easement.
