RE: Engineering Department Request to Expedite Easement
Abandonment Request
Carriage Homes of Savannah Lakes
Attached for your review and consideration, please find an attached
copy of a North/South Corporation letter dated May 20, 1992 requesting
this office process an abandonment request for the_above referenced
project. Additionally, I have attached a December 20, 1991 letter
from Richard Staudinger to Sha110way, Foy, Rayman & Newell, Inc.,
(Developer's Engineer) relative to an encroachment of Bldg. #9 upon
a 20 ft. utility easement.
On July 2, 1992, the City Engineer transmitted all pertinent documents
to John Guidry, Director of Utilities and James Cherof, City Attorney.
On or about July 16, 1992, I transmitted the attached Engineering
Department Memorandum No. 92-189, in an attempt to move the applicant's
December 1991 matter off of square one. In response to my memo, I
received Utility Department Memoranum No. 92-280, attached, questioning
why the Engineering Department is attempting to expedite and process
this application for easement abandonment.
This matter has remained unresolved for a period of at least six
months and therefore someone must take the lead role in providing
responsive action toward resolving the noted conflicts. I respect-
fully request your assistance in prompting staff to complete this
assignment so that the Engineering Department may modify and update
our files accordingly.
Should you require any additional information or assistance, please
contact me at ext. 488.

Because of all the 40 aore tract 18 under 81nq1e own.rship 1t wa.

TO: Vincent Finizio, Admin. Coord. of
FROM: John A. Guidry, utilities Director
DATE: July 16, 1992
SUBJECT: Carriage Hanes - Easement abandonment and disclaimer
After reviewing the proposed docunent, we question why it is being handled
in this fashion. We would prefer that the abandonment be handled, as usual,
through the Planning and Zoning Dept., and that the disclaimer be structured
as a tmilateral action by the developer, without a signature line for the
City to "agree".
On our part, we will not accept a bill of sale for the sewer system that
includes the sewer line that will be llBintained by the
developer/association. .
Please refer any further questions on this llBtter to Peter Mazzella of this
office.
