AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: November 22, 2010
FROM: Bill Wiley, AICP, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: Ordinance vacating a portion of Leesburg Landing right-of-way (.68 +/- acre) for an unused right of way
Staff Recommendation:
The Planning staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of the request for vacating a portion of Leesburg Landing right-of-way (.68 +/- acre) for an unused right of way in the development. The area to be vacated is currently developed by Leesburg Landings for resident use. A reservation for a public utilities easement will be retained. The vacation is needed to clear a title issue on the property
Analysis:
The vacation of the right-of-way is requested by the Leesburg Landing Community. This property is generally located west of Thomas Avenue, at Landing Drive, McHale Drive, and Fountain Drive. A utility easement necessary for the property will be recorded with the Lake County Clerk of Courts.
By a vote of 7 to 0, the Planning Commission on October 21, 2010 recommended approval.
Options:
1. Approve the request to vacate the right-of-way for Leesburg Landing.
2. Other action the Commission may deem appropriate.
Fiscal Impact:
No fiscal impact is anticipated as a result of the vacation of this right-of-way.
