RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council approve the Perpetual Right-of-Way Easement Vacation within Cardwell Ranch Subdivision, 1st Filing.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
Yegen Grand Avenue Farm, Inc. submitted a new subdivision plat aggregating Lots 2, 3A, 4A, 5, 6A, & 7A, Block 2 of Cardwell Ranch Subdivision, 1st Filing into one lot. There is a multi-family development proposed for the lot that will be reviewed by staff under the site development ordinance. The original subdivision of Cardwell Ranch Subdivision, 1st Filing platted a right-of-way easement between the original lots to allow access and public utilities (water and sewer). There is no longer a need for the easement since this will be one development under one ownership and there are no improvements constructed within the easement. The developer is asking Council to approve the vacation of the easement. Attached is the original Cardwell Ranch 1st Filing Subdivision plat with the easement area highlighted, the amended plat of Cardwell Ranch Subdivision (aggregating the lots mentioned), and the Perpetual Right-of-Way Easement Vacation.
ALTERNATIVES
City Council may:
- Approve the Perpetual Right-of-Way Easement Vacation; or,
- Not Approve the Perpetual Right-of-Way Easement Vacation. If the easement vacation is not approved, the aggregation of lots can still be done, but would have an unnecessary easement through the middle of the lot.
FISCAL EFFECTS
There is no significant financial impact with the approval of the perpetual right-of-way easement vacation.
