1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 6A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Diane Hankee, City Engineer MEETING DATE: January 8, 2018 TOPIC: PUBLIC HEARING: Consider 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 01-18, Vacating Drainage & Utility Easements, Lot 1, Block 1, Pine Glen VOTE REQUIRED: 4/5 INTRODUCTION Staff is requesting City Council consideration of Ordinance No. 01-18, Vacating Drainage & Utility Easements, Lot 1, Block 1, Pine Glen. BACKGROUND The owners, Scott and Shelly Carlson, of All Seasons Rental located at 7932 Lake Drive are proposing to expand their existing business. They have purchased 7928 Lake Drive a vacant 1.3 commercial parcel to the south (Lot 1, Block 1, Pine Glen) with the intent to final plat their parcels. The development is a combination of 3 parcels. The existing north parcel is unplatted and has a metes and bounds legal description. The vacant south parcel is platted and legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Pine Glen. The third parcel is a remnant parcel along Lake Drive. The parcels will be combined via plat to provide clear title and dedicate required easements. The name of the plat is SS Properties Addition. ANALYSIS The SS Properties Addition final platting process requires that existing drainage and utility easements be vacated on Lot 1, Block 1, Pine Glen. The vacation includes the standard property line easement, a drainage and utility easement over an existing stormwater retention pond on the east side. These existing easements will be vacated as detailed in the enclosed drainage and utility easement vacation sketch. New easements will be included with the SS Properties Addition final plat to cover the entire site and expanded stormwater facilities. The existing retention pond will be expanded and included in a new drainage and utility easement. An Ordinance is required to vacate the easement and the City Council is to hold public hearings for the vacation.
