Committee approves abandonment of old utility easement at Skyland Promenade (Walmart expansion)
Summary
The committee approved a resolution to abandon a former utility easement at Lot 4, Skyland Promenade, after Walmart expanded and provided a replacement easement and relocated a waterline.
The Tuscaloosa Projects Committee on Oct. 12 approved a resolution to abandon certain utility right-of-way easements at Lot 4, Skyland Promenade, where a Walmart expansion now occupies the prior easement area.
City staff explained that Walmart expanded the building into the area of the old easement and relocated the underlying waterline; the company has provided a replacement easement that routes around the new structure. The committee's action authorizes the city to file the necessary documents in probate court to abandon the old easement.
A staff member described the change as a waterline relocation along the side of the building and said the new easement encircles the expanded footprint. Committee members asked clarifying questions about the expansion's location (the home and garden side of the store); staff offered to provide printed plans if members wanted more detail.
The committee approved the easement-abandonment resolution by voice vote; the meeting transcript does not include a recorded roll-call tally.
