The Copper Ridge Development Corporation, property owner in Copper Ridge Subdivision 2nd Filing, is re-platting a portion of Copper Ridge Subdivision, 2nd Filing.  With the new plat, which will be Copper Ridge Subdivision, 5th Filing, it is desirable to vacate a portion of Cove Creek Drive and dedicate it as parkland.  This portion of Cove Creek Drive has not been constructed.  Copper Ridge Development Corporation is the original developer, therefore, the right of way vacation is done at no cost to the developer.  Attached is a map showing the right of way to be vacated.   This Council action acknowledges the street vacation application and sets a public hearing date of February 10.  The new plat for Copper Ridge Subdivision, 5th Filing, which will dedicate replacement  parkland, will be presented for approval at a later City Council meeting.

The Council may:

• Acknowledge receipt of the petition to vacate the above mentioned right of way and set a public hearing for February 10, 2014; or
• Do not acknowledge the petition to vacate the right of way.

Since the right of way proposed to be vacated will revert to the original devloper and no streets are constructed, there is no cost for the vacation. 

Staff recommends that Council acknowledge receipt of the petition to vacate a portion of Cove Creek Drive within Copper Ridge Subdivision, 2nd Filing, and set a public hearing for February 10, 2014.
