Vacation of a Public Drainage and Utility Easement Adjacent to 2400 Jennifer Lane | | |
| | | | | | | | Policy/Action Requested:
Adopt Resolution No. 7782, approving a vacation of a public drainage & utility easement adjacent to 2400 Jennifer Lane. | | |
| | | | | | | | Recommendation:
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve this request, conditioned that the property owner of 2400 Jennifer Lane and the City record the attached public drainage & utility easement document which provides a 15 - foot easement consistent with Exhibit A.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission considered this application at their October 6, 2016 meeting, and by a 6-0 vote, recommended approval, conditioned on the property owner of 2400 Jennifer Lane provide a public drainage & utility easement along the west side of the Jennifer Lane road easement.

| | | | | | | | Discussion:
Michael Bawek owns property at 2400 Jennifer Lane, which was part of a Minor Subdivision that reconfigured two residential lots and accommodated the new segment of Jennifer Lane extending south from Valley Creek Crossing 2nd Addition to Lakeview Drive. The easement proposed for vacation had been a perimeter easement, which due to the new lot configuration, is no longer warranted. Should the vacation be approved, the City, utility companies and the property owner will work together on the installation of any future utility services lines to ensure minimal site impacts.
City departments, Scott County and other outside agencies were given the opportunity to review and provide comments regarding this application. Planning staff received comments that recommend a new 15 - foot drainage and utility easement along the west side of the property owners existing front fence.
The public hearing was opened and closed at the October 18, 2016 City Council meeting. Recommended conditions of approval from staff members and utilities have been incorporated into the draft Resolution.
