the easement potentially shrinking by 2000 square feet. (roughly going through where the current lot 2 driveway is) At that time, it was stated from the city engineer that the shrunken easement "may not be sufficient for reconstructing the lift station in the future".[5] Staff review recommended enlarging the easement by 10 feet on the [west] side opposite the proposed vacated area and then noted that only "with the boundary adjustment, the city engineer [and public works director] determined that partially vacating the easement would not impact the function, maintenance, or reconstruction of the lift station."[6] That engineer proved to be prophetic, as the lift station was rebuilt in 2012 and the rebuild required space beyond the western boundary of the easement. By using the photos combined with the location of the trees (which can be assumed to have not moved and are accurate on the survey) and other known sizes, then perspective shifting the plans we can pretty accurately lay out the proposed site on top of the area needed to construct the lift station in 2012. I did not tweak my added lines for lens distortion but being mid-frame it should be minimal. I expect the extent goes so far beyond the surface-viewable elements because the lift station goes >24 feet underground and (based on sizes of the plans provided by staff) is person-accessible to that depth). I'll note that according to discussions they used directional boring for this rebuild, so that won't be a panacea for 'saving space' in the future. The below image shows where lot 1's driveway would go -- you'll notice it's clearly within the area needed for construction in 2012. (in fact, the city sewer runs under much of it's length) The below image should highlight the many added items that will be traversing through the easement near the lift station and the area needed for the 2012 reconstruction. I want to
