Executive Summary:
Chason Companies has requested to install electric utility lines within the right of way of West University Heights Drive North and South Beulah Boulevard adjacent to City parcels located at 521 W. University Heights Drive North and 3101 South Beulah Boulevard. However, portions of these properties were not dedicated as the right of way, although those portions are clearly roadway. Staff is suggesting dedicating these portions of the properties that are within right of way to define the property boundaries and roadway. Utilities are customarily installed within City right of way and utility companies have authority to enter the right of way per a franchise agreement with the City. Utilities installed outside of City right of way require the granting of an easement.
Exhibit 2, which is attached to this staff summary, depicts the portions of the properties that fall within the roadway and will be dedicated as right of way. Staff is still waiting on the legal descriptions for both the easements and the dedication, which will be attached to the final agenda.
