8. STAFF ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting to vacate a portion of an existing water easement (2,174 square feet)
platted on Lot 4, Block lof Southeast Corner Marketplace Subdivision No. 2 (see Exhibit A.2). The
water main was installed in conjunction with the subdivision improvements. A 27,380 square foot
building is currently under construction over the top of the water easement which necessitates the
need to vacate a portion of the existing easement (see Exhibit A.3). The portion of the easement and
water main that is to remain (adjacent to the rear of the building) will adequately service development
of the site. Staff recommends approval of the vacation application.
