P-3/203409 NEAL STREET – BOA MEETING – ADDTL NOTES Addendum to submittal regarding easement and reasoning per Karen Palacious comments on MCR for the sub case: EL2. Provide a large sheet (24X36) of the driveway plan and profile plan. AW and AE do not share trenching. Provide utility assignments showing the electrical service to the back lot with a 10 ft. electrical easement and AW will need their own easement and provide AW’s approval of separation from AE trenching. Plans are not readable. UPDATE: Austin Energy service point at the ROW needs to be called out showing the meter location near the service point on private property. The shown UE needs to be clearly labeled as private electrical service. Be advised Austin Energy disconnect is located along the ROW. It’s the applicant’s responsibility for their private line extension. Comments stand. UPDATE2: AE easement along the ROW cannot share with AW easement. The disconnect for the rear lot will be within the 15 ft. electrical easement along the ROW. UPDATE3: On a phone call the applicant was to verify their disconnect will be along the ROW for the flag lot with their MEP. Electrical Easement within the development is shown for the flag lot and private W/WW are shown within it. Not allowed. PERMIT PARTNERS/AERPARMIA RESPONSE: SEE ATTACHED REVISED PLAT AND UTILITY PLAN. PLEASE EMAIL EITHER MIA OR I DIRECT IF THERE ARE STILL CHANGES NEEDED ON THIS PLAN – MPARTON@AEPARMIA.COM OR JENNIFER@PERMIT-PARTNERS.COM REASONING BEHIND ADDING THIS EASEMENT & IN ORDER TO CLEAR EL2 COMMENT: Per Bowman - according to her images, Karen thought the private w/ww lines were in the AE easement because of how the plat was drawn up. Editing it to show the 5' gap between the fence and the easement shows the lines are fine. Aeparmia’s drawings have shown AE’s easement 5’ offset from the property line. That gave the w/ww 5’ of space to reach Lot B and not be in the AE easement. But since Karen was looking at the plat which showed the easement incorrectly along the property line, she assumed w/ww would be too close. Bowman updating the plat shows now that that isn’t the case, AE has their own easement where their distribution line will be by itself all the way to the back and there’s still space for private w/ww lines to also reach Lot B as well.
