Public Hearing for an Ordinance Approving the Vacation of a 30-Foot-Wide Public Utility Easement Located at the Southeast Corner of McDonough Street and SE Frontage Road (V-7-23)

BACKGROUND:
The petitioner and developer, Tallgrass Estates, LLC, is requesting approval of a final Planned Unit Development and a recording plat of Timber Pointe Unit 2 Subdivision. The PUD consists of two additional 16-unit townhouse buildings (32 units) within the existing Timber Pointe Subdivision, which is located at the southeast corner of McDonough Street and SE Frontage Road. The preliminary Planned Unit Development of Unit 2 was approved by City Council in April 2023.
As part of the development proposal for Unit 2, the petitioner needs to vacate a 30-foot-wide public utility easement that was granted with the recording plat for Timber Pointe Subdivision in 2021. The easement is located on the west side of Lot 3 and was originally intended to allow for future utility access to properties to the south, should those properties ever be developed. The petitioner wishes to vacate the easement to allow the proposed garages to be located in part of that area. The Public Utilities and Public Works Departments have reviewed the request and are not opposed to the easement vacation. A public utility and drainage easement will be granted over all proposed lots on any portion where buildings are not located.
PLAN COMMISSION MEETING:
