Title/Name/Summary
14404 Fawn View Circle - Plat of Vacation for Lot 12, Deer Haven Estates
History
This plat is proposed by the homeowner Mark Wolny of 14404 Fawn View Circle, to eliminate a portion of the utility and drainage easement within his property along the rear/west property line. The description of the easement portion to be vacated is a strip approximately 89 feet long, varying in width from a minimum of 4.92 feet to a maximum of 10.76 feet, as represented by the shaded area on the attached plat of vacation
The need for the vacation is to allow for an in-ground pool to be constructed. The existing easement is a considerably large 30 foot span across the rear of the of the rear yards in this region of the Deer Haven subdivision. The reason for the existence of the large easement, created when the subdivision was originally designed & platted, is to account for the storm sewer in the rear yards and to accommodate the rise of the yards as they abut the adjoining Alexis Estates subdivision to the west. Basically a considerable portion of the rear yard is encumbered by this sloped transition between the two subdivisions.
Staff has reviewed the proposed layout of the homeowner's desired in-ground pool "footprint" relative to the 30 foot easement and the existing utilities within the easement. The deletion of the aforesaid easement area will not adversely impact the utilities themselves or the ability to maintain those utilities should maintenace work be needed. The typical utility companies having rights to this easement (Nicor, AT&T, Comcast, ComEd) have all provided their release of rights to the easement vacation area as certified on the attached plat. Staff has reviewed the plat, and also confirmed the ability to eliminate the portion of the easement based on Village utility infrastructure atlases and actual ground markings via a J.U.L.I.E. locate obtained by the homeowner.
This is now before the Village Board to authorize signature of the plat.
