Thanks for the answer this AM from an earlier email from our group. I had these two <br />questions drafted earlier today but just got back to finishing them up. Know it is past 5 but thought I'd <br />send them anyway so you'll have them in the AM. <br />I have the following two questions about easements: <br />A portion of Tract A of the Common Preservation Area lies between Lots 13 & 14. It has a storm <br />water runoff drainage pipe through its entire length from Cupola Drive to the east to a point where <br />Tract A abuts the city owned forested area paralleling the Ribbon Trail. The Application indicates on <br />page 56 of 67 that "all stormwater management measures on the development site are private <br />improvements." I guess that means that this strip of land is NOT a public utility easement?? Please <br />confirm. <br />If this strip of land is not a public utility easement, will the Applicant be required to follow similar <br />measures as the city regarding accessibility to the stormwater drainage equipment for repairs and <br />maintenance? Will the entire 40 foot width of this piece of land be a complete "set aside" for access <br />to the under ground utility?? I believe that EC 9.6500 requires that "no building, structure or tree be <br />placed or located on or in a public utility easement." Will the Applicant be held to the same standard <br />and where would I find that in writing?? <br />Additionally, I cannot find anywhere in EC Section 9.0500 Definitions a definition for slope <br />easement. I know there are a few areas on the 11/27/17 site plan that are notated "slope <br />easement." What are the City's guidelines/limitations for the handling of a slope easement within a <br />development? Or does this issue also fall into a "private improvement" category which would put it <br />out of the purview of city regs?? If slope easements are out of the city regs world, what is the typical <br />handling of this type of easement?? Will homeowners and/or the HOA be prevented from generally <br />accessing this land?? Where would I find that in writing? <br />Thanks as always for your help. Will send along another question in the AM. <br />
