SUBJECT:
title
Ordinance Vacating 0.028 Acres of a Public Drainage Easement at 1715 Terry Drive
end
BACKGROUND:
In 2007 the manufacturer operating at 1715 Terry Drive sought to expand their injection molding business. This required an addition to the existing structure. That expansion would encroach on the City’s stormwater easement. At the time, the City reviewed the proposed plans, calculated the necessary detention volume actually required, and permitted the building expansion.
The structure was constructed, and the manufacturer continued to operate.
The site was developed by Howard Reeves through HOW Enterprises. HOW Enterprises is now owned by Howard’s heirs. The new ownership would like to sell the property. The buyer’s lender will not proceed with the transaction until the portion of the easement in question has been vacated by the City.
CONCLUSION:
In 2007 the City reviewed and approved the expansion of the building and the encroachment upon the recorded easement. The property cannot become productive until the City vacates a portion of the easement.
This item was brought to the September meeting of the Land Use and Economic Development meeting where it received a favorable recommendation.
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
Based on the above, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Council approve an Ordinance Vacating 0.028 Acres of a Public Drainage Easement at 1715 Terry Drive.
