APPLICANT: Mr. & Mrs. Kevin Krull Mr. & Mrs. Dan Hybel Mr. & Mrs. Louie Parnell Westchester Homes Harry Powell & Assocs. Mr. Harry Powell, P.E. 1301W. Beltline Road Suite 1178 Carrollton, Texas 75006 HISTORY: This request was initiated by the four property owners listed, due to an encroachment of their fences within a common access and utility easement. The City's Building Inspection Department notified each of the owners, that the fences situated along the rear of these properties, were in violation of encroaching a public access easement. Possibly, through an inadvertent error made by the fence company, all three fences (Lots 18-20) were placed within the easement. One of the homeowners, Mr. Hybel, in violation of encroaching the easement, contacted the Planning Department in an effort to seek a solution which would allow the homeowners to retain the fence in its present location. ANALYSIS: As indicated on the attached Exhibit "A", the present placement of the fence along lots 18 and 19, is located within the access and utility easement. ITEM 8 The general purpose of the common access and utility easement is: To provide emergency access for utility vehicles (due to the absence of an alley). To allow surrounding property owners access to the common areas. If the Planning Commission and the City Council consider granting approval for abandonment of the access portion of the easement, then staff recommends that the existing fences which encroach the easement be relocated and placed along the rear property lines. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the request to abandon only the access portion of easement and require fences to be relocated. 2) Deny the request. ATTACHMENTS: 1) Replat 2) Site Plan indicating the approximate location of GTE cable. 3) Request to abandon easement. VLG2RE.STF January ~), ! 991 City of Coppell Planning and Zoning 255 Parkway Bird. P. O. Box 478 Coppell, Texas 75019 Attention: Taryon Bowman Request for Abandonment of a Common Access Easement Dear Ms. Bowman: The purpose of this letter is to formally request abandonment of the common access easement that crosses our land. The area in question is inaccessible (see highlighted enclosure) and creates a hazard when fenced out in accordance with the existing easement. This common access easement does not serve a legitimate purpose as it does not allow for common access (refer to highlighted enclosure) and creates a hazard due to inaccessibility for the purpose of proper maintenance. This request relates solely to the abandonment of the common access easement. The existing utility easements would remain In full force and effect, Kevin C:rull 843 Chalfont Place Coppell, Texas 75019 Debbte Crull Daniel Hybel 839 £halfont Place CoppelI, Texas 75019 Jo Ann Hybel Louis Parnell 835 Chalfont Place Coppell, Texas 7501g Becky Parnell Enclosure: Survey Plat Item 10 Discussion and consideration of approving sign variances for Coppell Community Theater as requested by Councilman John Nelson.
