FORMAT: Consent Agenda
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: The owners of property located at 325 SE
Tallgrass Lane desire to place a fence within the back yard within a
portion of an overland flowage easement.
Staff has reviewed the proposed fence request and feels comfortable that
the proposed fence will not adversely impact the water flow through the
property. Staff is agreeable to allowing the fence with the understanding
that if it becomes a problem with storm water flowage, then it will be at
the property owner’s expense to move the fence out of the easement.
The attached Fence Agreement specifies the property owner’s
maintenance responsibilities and requirements for removing the fence in
the future if required by the City. This document will be recorded with
Dallas County and become a part of the official records for this property
and will remain fully enforceable should the property sell in the future.
