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 fence is in such a manner that it would not be possible to locate
it 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 fence that encroaches into the
drainage 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 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:
SECTION 1. The facts and recitations contained in the preamble of this resolution are
