PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The Copper Ridge Development Corporation, property owner in the 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 within the resolution is a map showing the right of way to be vacated. The new plat for Copper Ridge Subdivision, 5th Filing, which will dedicate replacement parkland, is also scheduled for this Council meeting.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The Council may:
- After holding a public hearing, approve the vacation of Cove Creek Drive; or
- After holding a public hearing, do not approve the vacation. The preliminary plat has been approved with the vacation of Cove Creek Drive as an option. Not approving the vacation of Cove Creek Drive Circle will force the developer to keep Cove Creek Drive with it's current alignment and lot configuration.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
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. It is proposed that the right-of-way to be vacated will be re-dedicated as parkland.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the advertised public hearing and approve the vacation of a portion of Cove Creek Drive.
