WHEREAS, the City Council after hearing the application and finding the specific facts
as stated above now concludes and finds that:
The fact that the existing garage is in such a manner that it would not be feasible
to relocate it outside the public utility easement constitutes special circumstances
and conditions affecting the property which if not taken into consideration would
deprive the applicant 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 remove the part of the existing structure that
encroaches into the public utility easement does provide a basis for granting the
license necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of the substantial property
rights of the applicant.
3. The fact that the use of the easement area by the property owner does not interfere
with the utilities or access to the utilities and is not detrimental to the public health,
safety or welfare or injurious to the property in the area; and
WHEREAS, the applicant agrees to accept the terms of the license agreement as presented
to them.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF GEORGETOWN, TEXAS, THAT:
SECTION 1. The facts and recitations contained in the preamble of this resolution are
