The Copper Ridge Development Corporation, owner of Reflections at Copper Ridge Subdivision, is platting Reflections at Copper Ridge Subdivision, 3rd Filing.  It received preliminary plat approval on May 14, 2012.  One of the preliminary plat conditions was to vacate Reflections Circle.  The subdivision plat will re-dedicate a street without parkland in the center of the cul de sac.  The parkland will be replaced in another location.  None of the streets have been constructed and Copper Ridge Development Corporation is the original developer.  Under those conditions, the staff recommends that the street be vacated at no cost to the developer. Vacation of this street will allow the owner to move forward with final plat approval of Reflections at Copper Ridge Subdivision, 3rd Filing.

The Council may:

• After holding a public hearing, approve the vacation of Reflections Circle; or
• After holding a public hearing, do not approve the vacation. The preliminary plat has been approved with the vacation and re-dedication of Reflections Circle as an option. Not approving the vacation of Reflections Circle will force the developer to keep Reflections Circle with it's current alignment and lot configuration.  

Since the right-of-way proposed to be vacated will revert to the original developer and no streets are constructed, there is no cost for the vacation.  New right-of-way will be dedicated to replace the vacated area.

Staff recommends that Council approve the vacation of Reflections Circle.
