DANETTE MOORE, PLANNING COORDINATOR
AGENDA ITEM:
PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A
RESOLUTION VACATING DRAINAGE AND UTILITY
EASEMENTS LOCATED ON OUTLOTS D, E, & F, THE
WILDS
DISCUSSION:
Historv: On May 3,2004, the City Council approved the preliminary
plat known as The Wilds Ridge. This preliminary plat included the
lots previously platted as Outlots D, E, and F, The Wilds. Shamrock
Development recently filed an application for a final plat for The
Wilds Ridge. In order to reconfigure the lots, the existing drainage and
utility easements must be vacated. New easements have been
dedicated as part of the final plat.
Current Circumstances: The Planning Commission reviewed this
vacation request on April 25, 2005. The Planning Commission
recommended approval of the proposed vacation.
The Issues: The Comprehensive Plan does not specifically discuss
utility easements, other than as a function of ensuring access to public
utilities. The vacation of the easements is not inconsistent with any
specific goal or objective of the Comprehensive Plan. The new plat
has dedicated all necessary easements for this area. The approval of
this vacation would allow the construction of dwellings on the new
lots.
Conclusion: The Planning Commission and the staff recommend
approval of the requested vacation.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council has three alternatives:
1. Adopt a Resolution approving the vacation.
2. Direct staff to prepare a resolution denying the vacation.
3. Defer this item and provide staff with specific direction.
