CITY OF WAUKEE, IOWA
CITY COUNCIL MEETING COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: December 17, 2018
AGENDA ITEM: A public hearing on the vacation of a portion of a Surface Water
Flowage and Storm Sewer Easement [Southfork Woods Plat 2 Lot 22]
FORMAT: Public Hearing
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: As a part of the final plat for Southfork Woods Plat
2, a Public Surface Water Flowage and Storm Easement was dedicated to
the City across a substantial portion of the rear of Lot 22.
In 2004, Veenstra and Kimm reviewed the easement in question and
recommended that a portion of the easement could be vacated based
upon storm water calculations provided. A proposed amendment to the
easement area across Lot 22 was prepared, however it appears at that
time there was never any further action taken to vacate the existing
easement and approve the new easement.
The current property owner has expressed interest in amending the
easement as a portion of the existing house is within the easement area
and the owners have an interest in installing a pool within the rear yard.
In order to dispose of the existing easement and approve the amended
easement, the City Council needs to hold a public hearing on the
vacation.
