Summary
The Community Development Department has reviewed a special exception request for a 50-foot wide easement to the Gas Company in a conservation area and stream buffer. The request is to relocate an existing gas main and its associated easement from within the limits of the project to a stream buffer. The Engineering review does not recommend approval of this request due to lack of narrative documenting efforts to investigate alternatives or minimization of impacts and no mitigation plan. The code allows for utility impacts in buffers, but requires minimization of impacts and a mitigation plan.
