ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE D.
WHEREAS, the City of Georgetown, has received an application for a license to encroach
into the public utility easements; and
WHEREAS , in order for a license to be granted by the City Council of the City of
Georgetown, the Council must make certain findings of fact-, and
WHEREAS, after hearing the application of the Del Webb Development Company to
encroach into the public utility easements, the City Council of the City of Georgetown, Texas,
finds the following facts:

property in its present status.
2. That there are no utilities which would interfere with the utilization of the
property in its present status.
3. That the proposed signs will intrude into the public utility easements to such a
degree that it is not economically feasible to move the part of the structure within
the easements.
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 other uses in the neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, the City Council after hearing the application and finding the specific facts
as stated above now concludes and finds that:

within the easements constitutes special circumstances and conditions affecting the
property which if not taken into consideration would deprive the applicants 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 move the part of the structure within the
easements does provide a basis for granting the license necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of the substantial property rights of the applicants.
