Council approves vacation of 20-foot drainage easement in Greenville Estates

The City Council on Sept. 8 approved Resolution 2025-24 vacating a 20-foot drainage easement at Lot 17 of Greenville Estates (map book 6, page 42).

Planning staff and the planning commission reported there was no ditch or drainage feature at the recorded easement and recommended that the city vacate the easement so adjacent property owners could replant the lots. A council member moved to approve the resolution and another council member seconded; the council voted to approve the resolution by voice vote as recorded in the meeting minutes.

The resolution was brought to the council following a planning commission review and was described in the meeting as requested by surrounding landowners because the city was not using the easement for drainage. The transcript excerpt provided does not include the full resolution text or details about subsequent property-recording steps.
