Rod Just of KRB Development, representing the Bharatall family, has applied for a vacation of a public drainage and utility easement on Lot 7, Block 1, Meadowbrook Run. The subject property is adjacent to the Whispering Waters development that is currently being developed by KRB Development. 

The applicant is proposing to vacate a 20' drainage and utility easement that covers an existing drainage swale that is undersized for certain rain and snowmelt events and needs to be widened for the 2nd phase of the Whispering Waters development. The applicant proposes to construct a wider swale and dedicate a larger easement south of the current easement that will accommodate larger storm events.

City Engineering staff anticipated this vacation request and both the Planning Commission and staff recommends that the City Council approve the request, on the condition that a new easement is provided. The applicant has already provided a draft easement document for the new easement and a temporary construction easement for the City's review, which is attached.
