BETWEEN THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN AND LES AND SUE LYNN
ROMO; PERTAINING TO THE ENCROACHMENT OF AN EXISTING
WOOD DECK AND A PROPOSED SWIMMING POOL, STORAGE SHED
AND FENCE INTO THE APPROXIMATELY ONE HUNDRED (100) FOOT
WIDE PLATTED DRAINAGE EASEMENT LOCATED ON THE REAR
PROPERTY LINE OF REATA TRAILS, UNIT THREE, BLOCK D, LOT 15,
AS RECORDED IN CABINET F, SLIDES 113 & 114 OF THE PLAT

encroach into the drainage easement for an existing wood deck and a proposed above
ground swimming pool, storage shed and fence; and
WHEREAS, in order for a license to be granted by the City Council of the City of
Georgetown, the Council must make certain findings of fact; and
WHEREAS, after hearing the application of Les and Sue Lynn Romo to encroach
into the drainage easement, the City Council of the City of Georgetown, Texas, finds the
following facts:
1. That there are no utilities which would be interfered with by the utilization of
the property in the proposed manner.
2. That there are no utilities which would interfere with the utilization of the
property in the proposed manner.
3. That the drainage easement effects the lot in such a manor that it would not
be possible to locate the swimming pool, storage shed and fence outside the
drainage easement.
4. That the land use in the neighborhood appears to be stable and the use to
which this property is being put is not likely to change within the foreseeable
future and is compatible with other uses in the neighborhood; and

WHEREAS, the City Council after hearing the application and finding the specific
facts as stated above now concludes and finds that:
1. The fact that the drainage easement effects the lot in such a manor that it
would not be possible to locate the swimming pool, storage shed and fence
outside the drainage easement constitutes special circumstances and
conditions affecting the property which if not taken into consideration would
deprive the applicants 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 situate the existing wood deck and
proposed swimming pool, storage shed and fence encroachments into the
drainage easement elsewhere on the lot 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 drainage 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 applicants agree 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:
