AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: October 8, 2007
FROM: Laura McElhanon, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance for vacating the drainage and utility easements between lots 5 and 6, and between lots 6 and 7 of Majestic Oaks Landing Subdivision Plat
Staff Recommendation:
The Planning staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of the request for vacating the drainage and utility easements between lots 5 and 6, and between lots 6 and 7 of Majestic Oaks Landing subdivision plat.. The area to be vacated is not currently used for public access or use and is currently undeveloped. It is not needed for future access and should be vacated to allow the property to be developed.
Analysis:
On July 20, 2005, a lot line deviation request was approved (administratively) for lots 4, 5, 6 and 7 Majestic Oaks Landing. Subsequently, an easement vacation request was received for the original utility easements. The vacation of the drainage and utility easements is requested by Edward and Kay Schlein, the owners of the property. The property to be vacated is not currently used for public access and is not needed for future use. Utility easements shall remain along the western property line of Lot 5 and the eastern property line of Lot 8 for existing and/or required utility service(s) for this property.
By a vote of 7 to 0, the Planning Commission recommended approval.
Options:
1. Approve the request to vacate the portions of the drainage and utility easements in the referenced subdivision.
2. Other action the Commission may deem appropriate.
Fiscal Impact:
No fiscal impact is anticipated as a result of the vacation of these easements.
