DISCUSSION:
This request is solely to replat Lot 1 , Block 1, of the GTE Shared
Services Addition to allow for separate ownership and to
abandon unneces.sary easements and to dedicate needed
easements. Specifically, within Lot 1 R1 (currently vacant), a
24-foot fire lane easement is being abandoned (hatched)
with the utility, water and Texas Power and Light easements
adjacent to the roadways being retained. Within Lot 1 R2
(currently developed), only two small segments of the 24-
foot fire lane easement are being abandoned on the
western property line, and the remaining easements are
retained with a six-foot expansion to the width of the 24-foot
fire lane easement at the north and an 11-foot expansion to
the width of the fire lane easement on the south. Finally, a
ten-foot drainage easement is proposed at the south side of
the subdivision extending from the common property line of
the two lots a short distance to the east then south to
Canyon Drive. This is strictly a ministerial replat request for
the purpose of land sale and has no bearing on the ultimate
land use of the property.
