8.04.020 Abandonment or Relocation of Unused Easements-The purpose of this policy is to
guide the District in its decisions regarding abandonment or retention of unused easements or
relocation of existing easements as a result of lot line adjustments. At the time that development
occurs,there is uncertainty as to the need for the extension of water and electric lines. Based on
that uncertainty,it is prudent for the District to secure utility easements for future line extensions. As
an area completes its development,the uncertainties become less present, and certain reserved
easements can be abandoned or relocated. When a property owner petitions the District to
abandon or relocate unused reserved easements,the following procedures shall be followed.
It is the intent of this policy to protect the District's access to easements while giving property owners
the opportunityto cleartheir parcels of easement restrictions thatwill not be used in thefuture bythe
District.
8.04.020.1 Form of petition- A request that the District abandon or relocate an unused easement
shall be made by petition in the following form. Petitions to abandon or relocate an easement shall

8.30.080 Limitation
8.30.010 General The intent of this policy is to define guidelines and parameters as it relates to
encroachments on District4 property.An"encroachment"is an entry onto or
use of District property without the District's explicit permission. Examples of encroachments are
fences,snow storage,wood or vehicle storage or buildings, roadways and driveways which have
intentionally or unintentionally been placed on District property.
The District, in its sole and absolute discretion, may approve, deny, or set any limitations or
conditions on any encroachment on District property and issue and, at any time, alter, amend,
modify, rescind,or revoke an Encroachment Permit for an encroachment, all without recourse or
remedy by an Applicant/Permittee for an Encroachment Permit or liability to the District. The District
may also amend, modify or rescind this policy at any time without recourse or remedy by any
Applicant/Permittee or with liability to the District.
8.30.020.Definition Formatted:Underline
8.30.020.1"Encroachment"means an unauthorized entry onto or use of District property,including
removal or planting of vegetation,placement of structures or materials,snow removal or storage,or
other alteration of surface or landscape that may affect or alter the visual aspects and uses of
District property.
8.30.020.2 An"Encroachment Permit"is a contract between the District and the permit holder. An
Encroachment Permit is not a property right,such as an easement, nor does it confer a property
right. The Encroachment Permit cannot be transferred with the sale of real personal property.It is
mandatory that the encroachment be abated with the sale of the property.
8.30.020.3 Each Encroachment Permit issued shall have a maximum term of one year and must be
renewed if the Permittee would like the Encroachment Permit to extend beyond the term.
Encroachment Permits for the same encroachment will not be granted for more than a total of five
years.
8.30.020.4 The Encroachment Permit Category cannot change from a more severe category to
lesser one at anytime.It is possible,at the discretion of the District,to change the designation to a
more severe category depending on tteewhether the encroachment expands in scope or becomes
