ITEM:
Report on Petition No. 4204 requesting vacation of utility easements located on Lots 17 and
18, Block 5, Country Oak Estates Subdivision.
BACKGROUND:
This petition was submitted on May 31, 2000 by Mr. Daniel Huehl requesting vacation of the
east-west twenty (20) foot utility easement between Lots 17 and 18, Block 5, Country Oak
Estates Subdivision and the north-south twenty(20) foot utility easement located on Lot 17,
Block 5, Country Oak Estates Subdivision.
This property, located at the southwest comer of Schilling Road and Marcella Drive, was
recently rezoned to allow the construction of a motel. The site plan for this proposed motel
includes placing the structure and parking lot over these easements. A sketch of the location
has been attached for your review.
The franchise utility companies were contacted for their input regarding this proposed
vacation. Southwestern Bell and KPL have facilities located within this easement. These
companies have taken the position that the easements cannot be vacated until formal
agreements are in place with the applicant to relocate these lines. This public hearing was
continued on June 19, 2000 to allow the applicant additional time to complete formal
agreements with KPL and Southwestern Bell. The agreements are now complete and
attached for your review. The applicant has agreed to pay all relocation costs to move the
utilities (overhead power lines and underground telephone lines) west of the proposed motel.
The applicant has not yet dedicated new utility easements to accommodate the relocated
utility lines. It is recommended that the vacation be approved on first reading on the
condition that the applicant dedicate the necessary utility easements and fulfill the obligations
of the agreements with the utility companies. Second reading of the ordinance will be
postponed until the conditions have been met.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the ordinance allowing vacation of
utility easements located on Lots 17 and 18, Block 5, Country Oak Estates Subdivision with
the condition that the applicant dedicate new utility easements prior to second reading.

Dear Michael:
In reference to the petition to vacate portions of the utility easement in Country Oak Estates, we
submit the following.
Dilip Patel has worked with us to determine where the easement can be relocated. This new
location was then given to Dean Andrews in map form to allow coordination with other utilities
as far as easement location.
Dilip Patel has provided payment for the relocation of our facilities.
If the City has the new easement in place as shOwn on the enclosed map, KPL will be in
agreement with the relinquishment of the easement segments (per the vacate petition dated June
2, 2000).
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 785 822-3560.
Sincerely,
KPL Engr. Supervisor
