SUBJECT:
title
Ordinance Vacating a Sanitary Sewer Easement on Greywall Boulevard, Panorama Drive, and Spring View Lane in the Vista Ridge Subdivision (V-2-25)
end
BACKGROUND:
The petitioner, Vista Ridge Development, LLC, wishes to vacate a sanitary sewer easement on Greywall Boulevard, Panorama Drive, and Spring View Lane in the proposed Vista Ridge Subdivision. The proposed subdivision would be located at 8301 Caton Farm Road. The easement was dedicated as a part of the initial attempt to plat the subdivision in 2007, to allow for extension of a sanitary sewer main from the Deer Crossing Subdivision to the northeast, south to Caton Farm Road. With the proposed platting of the Vista Ridge Subdivision, sanitary sewer facilities would be located within the right-of-way in the subdivision’s ten planned streets, thereby eliminating the need for the duplicative sanitary sewer easement that is currently in place.
The developer wishes to remove the easement that would overlap into several lots along Greywall Boulevard and Panorama Drive, since the proposed sanitary sewer main line infrastructure would be located within the right-of-way. Public Utility and Drainage easements will be provided within the front 7.5 feet of newly platted lots to allow for additional room for utilities beyond the proposed right-of-way. Additional public utility and drainage easements on the Phase 1 Final and Recording Plats have been incorporated to allow for easement coverage over the sanitary sewer path that extends from Spring View Lane and Caton Farm Road.
Approval of the subject vacation will reduce redundancy with the proposed right-of-way within the Vista Ridge Subdivision and allow development to occur over the portions of the existing easement that overlap the proposed subdivision lots.
