RE: Request for Encroachment (fence in the easements) at 1203 Angelique Court, Clay Springs
Lot 50
Dear Board Members:
Dr. and Mrs. Michael and Laura Murphy, the property owners at 1203 Angelique Court, are
requesting Board of Public Works and Safety approval for installing a wrought -iron fence (image
attached) into the Drainage and Utility Easements located along two of their property lines.
The Department of Engineering reviewed the request for a Consent to Encroach and informed
Dr. and Mrs. Murphy that an encroachment of 5 -feet into the Drainage and Utility Easements
would be supported. It is the opinion of this Department that a 5 -foot encroachment (leaving 10-
feet of the easements undisturbed) would not create a significant potential for detriment for this
property or adjacent properties.
A site visit to 1203 Angelique Court revealed that an adjacent neighbor has already installed a
fence (a wooden privacy fence) which appears to have been placed outside of the easement. Mrs.
Murphy has indicated that the area does not currently experience standing water issues.
A copy of Dr. and Mrs. Murphy's letter to the Board, and a copy of the plot plan are attached for
your reference. The Department supports a 5 -foot encroachment but does not recommend that
the Board approve of an encroachment greater than 5 -feet into the easements
Sincerely,
2117, W
Michael T. McBride, P.E.
City Engineer
