Adopt Resolution #18-082 Accepting a Drainage and Utility Easement over a Portion of Lot 4, Block 3 Woodlands 4th Addition (Project No. 16-102): Case of U.S Home Corporation (dba Lennar)

In the spring of 2017, Lennar received final plat approval for Woodlands 4th Addition as well as their Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization (LRRWMO) Permit.  However, the LRRWMO Permit approval had multiple contingencies, including widening the drainage and utility easement on Lot 4, Block 3 from sixteen and a half feet (16.5') to twenty-five feet (25').  The reason for this condition was that the easement is encumbering a wetland mitigation area and per the Wetland Conservation Act, a twenty-five foot (25') buffer is required adjacent to any mitigation wetland.  Lennar has prepared an Easement Exhibit to encumber an additional eight and a half feet (8.5') of this parcel with drainage and utility easement to satisfy the LRRWMO condition.  Similar to all the other drainage and utility easements within this plat, the easement would in favor of the City.  Approval of the attached resolution would accept this additional 8.5' foot drainage and utility easement.

Notification is not required.

All costs associated with this request are the Applicant's responsibility.
