the property in the proposed manner.

property in the proposed manner.

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 proposed driveway and side entry garage are in such a
manner that it would not be feasible to locate them outside the platted and
deeded public utility easements constitutes special circumstances and
conditions affecting the property which if not taken into consideration would
deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of their 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 locate the proposed driveway and
side entry garage outside the platted public utility easements does provide
a basis for granting the license necessary for the preservation and enjoyment
of the substantial property rights of the applicant.
3. The fact that the use of the easement area by the property owner does not
interfere with the drainage, 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
WHEREAS, the applicant agrees to accept the terms of the license agreement as
presented to him.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF GEORGETOWN, TEXAS, THAT:
