IF T <br />LAUDERDALE COUNCIL. <br />A C T I(DNI F 0 R M <br />Action Requested <br />Consent <br />Public Hearing <br />Discussion <br />Action <br />Resolution <br />Work Session _X <br />Meeting Date August 26, 2014 <br />ITEM NUMBER —Luther Seminary Replat <br />STAFF INITIAL <br />The public hearing regarding Luther Seminary's replat is scheduled for September 9. Since <br />the City Attorney, Ron Batty, is unable to attend that meeting, he is planning to attend this <br />meeting to review the replatting process and answer any questions the Council has. <br />Originally, the seller's (Luther Seminary) request was to turn one lot into four. As this cre- <br />ated the need for complicated cross easements for access and utilities, this week the buyer <br />(Greenway Holdings) decided to request the creation of only one new lot instead of three on <br />the portion they are acquiring. Now the buyer and seller are trying to decide on any ease- <br />ments needed to serve "Lot 2" which is the land being retained by Luther Seminary. They <br />have asked the City to weigh in on the discussion. As most of Lot 2 is zoned conservation, <br />this becomes a policy question for the Council. If the City. intends for the parcel to remain <br />zoned for conservation, there would be no need for the buyer to plat access for utilities for <br />Lot 2. If the Council would like to see a portion of the conservation area developed, then <br />the City could make requirements for utility access. As the discussions between the buyer <br />and seller are on-going, the nature of the Council's discussion could change by Tuesday's <br />meeting. Staff will update you then. <br />OPTIONS: <br />COUNCIL ACTION: <br />
