Council approves removing part of drainage easement between two home lots
Williams Homes asked to remove part of a drainage easement so a home can meet city setback rules, and a private storm drain would be realigned. The Star City Council approved the request on its consent agenda Mar. 17, subject to City Engineer and Star Sewer & Water District requirements.

The application's description as it appears in City of Star's record. See the official record
Williams Homes is asking the City of Star to vacate, meaning remove, part of a drainage easement that runs between two home lots (Lots 45 and 46, Block 2) in the Cranefield Subdivision No. 2 at 12450 and 12494 W. Meliora Lane. The applicant says the easement change is needed so the lots can fit a home within city setback requirements, and a private storm drain pipe would be realigned to keep clearance from the homes. The request is for an easement change on two lots, not new homes, so no unit count is given.
