MAYOR OF THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION TO EXECUTE A LICENSE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION AND APPLICANT,
THOMAS AND STEPHANIE ADAMS PERTAINING TO THE ENCROACHMENT OF AN
UNDERGROUND POOL STRUCTURE LOCATED AT LOT 26, BLOCK 30, PEBBLE
CREEK SUBDIVISION, PHASE 9A, MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS 5116 SYCAMORE
HILLS DRIVE, INTO THE PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT.
WHEREAS, the City of College Station, has received an appli cation for a license to encroach
into a utility easement;
WHEREAS, the City of College Station has enacted Ordinance No. 1645 regulating, controlling
and governing encroachments;
WHEREAS, in order for a license to be granted by the City Council of the Ci ty of College
Station, the Council must make certain findings of facts;
WHEREAS, after hearing the application of Thomas and Stephanie Adams to encroach into the
easement, the City Council of the City of College Station, finds the following facts:
1. That through no fault of the present property owner, a portion of the structure was
constructed in the utility easement.
2. That there are no utilities which would be interfered with by the utilization of the
property in its present status.
3. That the structure intrudes into the easement to such a degree that it is not
economically feasible to remove the part of the structure within the easement.
4. That the land use in the neighborhood appears to be stable and the use to which
this property is being put is not likely to change within the foreseeable future and
is similar to the use to that of the neighborhood;
WHEREAS, the City Council after hearing the application and finding the specific facts as stated
above now concludes and finds that:
1. The fact that the structure was constructed within the easement through no fault of
the present property owner and that it is not economically feasible to remove the
part of the structure within the easement area does constitute special
circumstances and conditions affecting the property which if not taken into
consideration would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his property.
2. The fact that the land use is not likely to change within the foreseeable future and
that it is not economically feasible to remove the part of the structure within the
easement does provide a basis for granting the license necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of the substantial property right of the applicant.
3. The fact that the use of the easement area by the property owner does not interfere
with the utilities or access to the utilities and is not detrimental to the public
health, safety or welfare or injurious to the property in the area; and
