******CITY OF GLENN HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Date: November 10, 2020
SUBJECT
The City Council will consider a Resolution to accept a sanitary sewer easement from
Meadow Springs Homeowners Association.
REPORT IN BRIEF
Discuss and take action on Resolution R-39-20, a Resolution of the City Council of the
City of Glenn Heights, accepting a sanitary sewer easement from Meadow Springs
Homeowners Association, Grantor, to the City of Glenn Heights for the installation,
construction, operation, maintenance, replacement, repair, upgrade, relocation, and
removal of a sanitary sewer line and all necessary or desirable structures, facilities and
appurtenances necessary thereto; providing for the furnishing of a certified copy of this
resolution for recording in the real property records of Dallas County, Texas, as a deed;
and providing an effective date.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The City Council of the City of Glenn Heights approved the final plat of Maplewood
Phase IIA on March 3, 2020. In planning for the installation of the necessary public
improvements for this phase, the developer’s engineers have since discovered the need
for a public utility easement within the Meadow Springs subdivision on a property owned
and maintained by the Meadow Springs Homeowners’ Association. Obtaining this
easement would permit the developers of Maplewood Phase IIA to tie into an existing
sanitary sewer line. This easement would subsequently allow City administration to
operate, maintain, replace, repair, upgrade, relocate, and/or remove this portion of the
sanitary sewer line once the Maplewood Phase IIA infrastructure has been completed,
inspected, and accepted by the City’s Public Works department.
PUBLIC CONTACT
The easement has been drafted and shared with both the Meadow Springs
Homeowners’ Association and Bloomfield Homes, the developer and property owners of
Maplewood Phase IIA.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff is proposing the purchase of this exclusive sanitary sewer easement in the amount
of ten dollars ($10.00).
RECOMMENDATIONS / ALTERNATIVES
Staff recommends approval of proposed Resolution R-39-20.
