Purpose
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
Innovative Developments, LLC ("Licensee") owns the property located at 408 Hobson Avenue (LRSN 1004245) ("Licensee's Parcel"), which it is being developed to build a single family dwelling.
Currently, Licensee requests permission to encroach into a portion of the area of public right-of-way known as Hobson Avenue, comprising 750 square feet, more or less, for the installation of a private water line.
The request was routed to staff and local utility companies. None have any objection. However, in addition to the standard conditions, staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions: (i) the Licensed Improvement must not be installed until Licensee receives approval from Newport News Waterworks; and (ii) the installation of a new sewer line connection by the City's Department of Public Works (Wastewater Division).
Therefore, pursuant to § 34-86 of the City Code, staff recommends approval under the conditions outlined in the accompanying Encroachment Agreement.
