<br />.. . <br /> <br />The Lotts submitted a copy of a registered survey (attached) with an <br />earlier building permit application for an accessory building. This <br />survey shows 8 feet of a utility easement running across the back <br />portion of the rear yard. As layed out, the slab will be located <br />9 feet from the rear property line and 1 foot from the utility <br />easement. <br /> <br />In addition, the site plan shows a 25 foot pipeline easement, running <br />down the side of the property, is shown to be clear of the existing <br />house and addition by an unspecified distance. The survey shows the <br />existing house against the easement. This would appear to have the <br />room addition encroaching into the pipeline easement. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Staff recommends this special exception be denied. The property, as <br />platted, is not of "such unusual topography or restricted area and <br />shape" that appropriate development has been precluded. <br /> <br />Secondly, in the case of possible encroachment into the adjacent <br />pipeline easement, the City is in no way empowered to grant a special <br />exception or variance to allow any encroachment into this easement. <br />
