Background:

The applicant, R. Mark Petrich of Hall Estill, has requested on behalf of RLand Development Group, LLC, the closure of a previously recorded Stormwater Drainage Easement.  The easement was provided to facilitate offsite drainage in association with Berwick on Cedar Ridge (Blocks 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) (Plat no. 601).  The recorded plat of Berwick South now handles the drainage in platted right-of-way, easements and Reserve B.    Closure of the easement is recommended to eliminate duplication and possible lot development conflicts.

 

City staff has reviewed the request for closure of the Stormwater Drainage Easement as requested and recommends approval. The applicant will also seek foreclosure of the easement at the District Court level.

 

The attached easement closure ordinance was previewed by the City Council on April 5, 2016. Staff recommends the Council adopt Ordinance 3421 and approve the Emergency Clause.
