Consideration, discussion, and possible preview of an ordinance closing a utility easement on property located in the Southwest Quarter (SW/4) of Section Six (6), Township Eighteen (18) North, Range Fifteen (15) East, Tiger Plaza, a subdivision in the City of Broken Arrow, Wagoner County, State of Oklahoma, generally located north and east of the northeast corner of Kenosha Street and 23rd Street; repealing all ordinances to the contrary; and declaring an emergency (Tiger Plaza)
End
Background:
The applicant, has submitted an application requesting the closure of a 15-foot utility easement which extends west of the primary 17.5-foot utility easement along the east side of the property. This easement was intended to include a fire hydrant for the Tiger Plaza Shopping Center however, the hydrant was ultimately located within the 17.5-foot perimeter utility easement.
This closure is being requested due to the expansion of the easternmost tenant space of the Tiger Plaza Shopping Center, which would encroach into the easement. Since this easement area is vacant, no replacement easement is proposed.
Staff recommends the Council preview the ordinance and set it for adoption.
