Summary

The commission recommended abandoning a 30-foot city sanitary sewer easement on Cherry Lane and dedicating a new 40-foot alignment to meet MWRD guidelines so adjacent townhomes can be served. The applicant will prepare exhibits, legal descriptions and pay recording fees.

The Planning Commission reviewed a mandatory referral request on May 25 to abandon an existing 30-foot sanitary sewer easement along Cherry Lane and to dedicate a replacement 40-foot easement to conform with updated Middle Tennessee wastewater (MWRD) guidelines.

"This mandatory referral is for an abandonment and relocation of a sanitary sewer easement owned by the city," staff member Shackelford Brow told the commission. He said the relocation will permit construction of a new sewer alignment to serve townhomes on the parcel north of Cherry Lane; the applicant will prepare the legal exhibits and descriptions and pay recording fees.

The commission approved the abandonment and relocation subject to the standard staff conditions. If adopted by council, the applicant is responsible for the legal instruments and recording of deeds and must coordinate final alignment and construction with the city's wastewater authority.
