REQUEST BY LAND OWNER FOR FORMAL ABANDONMENT OF EASEMENT AND RIGHT OF WAY TANGRAM REHABILITATION NETWORK, INC., is the owner of land which is legally described as: All of Lot No. Four-A (4A) of the Resubdivision of a portion of Lot Nos. Three (3) and Four (4), Block Twenty-Six (26) of the Original Town of San Marcos, according to the map or plat thereof recorded in Volume 3, page 240 of the Plat Records of Hays County, Texas. On April 17, 19S4 an easement and right of way for electrical transmission and/or distribution lines was granted. It is described as follows: Seven and one-half foot (7.5') by sixty-five foot (65') easement for utility purposes granted in favor of Lower Colorado River Authority ("LCRA"), by instrument recorded in Volume 435, pages 214-216 of the Real Property Records of Hays County, Texas. It is believed that this easement was subsequently assigned by the LCRA to the City of San Marcos and that this fourteen (14) year old easement has been abandoned. The electrical transmission and distribution lines that currently exist on the property exist in the easement that was granted to the City of San Marcos that borders the eastern property line. Attached i~ a photocopy of a survey performed by David Williamson that depicts the current position ofthe power lines and also depicts the old, abandoned easement which you will note appears to be located in the middle of an existing building and leads to nowhere. Mr. Williamson, the surveyor said that he had discussed this 4-17-84 easement with Ronnie Lacaze, San Marcos Electrical Utility ("SMEU") and Dick Howell an employee of the City Attorney's (San Marcos) office. They all agreed that the 4-17-S4 easement had been abandoned. Tangram is currently involved in a merger transaction. This abandoned easement is a title problem that needs to be cured immediately. Therefore, Tangram formally requests that SMEU and the City of San Marcos execute a document which formalizes the fact that the 4-17- S4 easement has been abandoned. ~. ~£/ ~ Vicki Brittain Attorney for Tangram Rehabilitation Network, Inc.
