Good afternoon Carie,
We would be supportive of the encroachment inside the utility easement, but the City does
not have any utilities in that area. Your biggest risk would come from 3rd party utilities
(telecom, electrical, etc.).
The drainage easement in the rear of the property is due to this area being a dry detention
basin. Over the years, many private improvements have been made in these easements, so
we do try to be as reasonable as we can, while trying to keep as much detention capacity as
possible. What this means is that during heavy storms, this area within the last 25’ of your
property may flood and hold water for a number of hours, which is by design. Kingswood
does not have any ponds, and instead, the designer opted for dry detention basins along the
backs of properties. In reviewing your plan, we would ask that the entire drainage easement
be kept as natural grass. Mulch will get washed away and could cause harm to the system
itself. Otherwise, we will proceed with a Consent to Encroach for the portion within the utility
easement.
