Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language) 
CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION: Approving Resolution 2025-45, abandoning the 
10' Public Utility and Drainage Easement along the north side of 15612 E Thistle Drive 
(Application A25-000015) 
 
Staff Summary (background) 
This is a proposal to abandon the pre-incorporation 10' Public Utility and Drainage Easement 
along the north property line of Plat 602-D, Block 2, Lot 38 (15612 E Thistle Drive).  Vikram 
Khandelwal, the owner of the property, is planning site improvements that will encroach 
into the existing easement. Staff have reviewed the site to evaluate the potential on-site 
drainage issues and the Town's overall interest in the easement.  There is no necessity for 
the Town to retain the drainage easement proposed for abandonment, given that the owner 
of the lot is required to allow the developed flows from upstream lots to pass across their 
property.  All public utilities have approved the abandonment of this easement.
