Ordinance No. 555 is now presented to the Council for <br /> consideration of final adoption. <br /> For Review: <br /> In the late Fall of 1994, the City Council approved the plat known as <br /> SHERWOOD ESTATES for Citywide Developers. This Plat included property that <br /> will eventually support 13 new single family homes in the vicinity of <br /> Highway 10 and Spring Lake Road. <br /> The SHERWOOD ESTATES plat that was approved a platting of properties <br /> previously described in metes and bounds. Over time, certain easements <br /> were taken by the City to provide for utilities and drainage on the <br /> property. Since the SHERWOOD ESTATES plat is a reconfiguration of that <br /> property, certain portions of those easements are no longer necessary. <br /> Because easements are "dedicated to the public forever", these portions of <br /> unnecessary easements are required to be formally vacated as part of the <br /> replat. Please keep in mind that new utility and drainage easements were <br /> provided by Citywide at the time of platting, so there is no net loss in <br /> available utility and drainage easements. <br /> I have attached Ordinance No. 555 which formally vacates the appropriate <br /> sections of the easements on the property which are no longer necessary. <br /> Paaul'Harrington, ' Community Development Coordinator <br /> RECOMMENDATION; <br /> Adopt Ordinance No. 555 vacating certain publicly held easements. <br />
