Item 4: Recommendation: VAC 04-003 Request for a Vacation of utilities,
drainage and irrigation easement on the interior lot line of Lots 22 and 23
of Packard Acres Subdivision Ido. 2 by Packard Estates Development,
LLC -south of East Ustidc Road and east of North Loalst Grove Road:
Borup: The first item is that of a recommendation from this Commission. It's not a
Public Hearing, but this is on VAC fl4-003, request for vacation of utility drainage and
irrigation easement on the interior lot lines of Lo# 22 and 23, Packard Estates
Subdivision I+lo. 2. We'd like to start with the staff report.
Hawkins~Clark: Good evening. Thank you, Chairman Borup, Members of the
Commission. This its - as you stated, is a recommendation. The ordinance does not
require a Public Hearing before the Commission for these vacations. However, we do
pass on any recommendation that you Dave for the Counal's consideration during the
hearing. The application is pretty simple, really. Ifs regards just the one interior lot line
that was platted a couple of years ago in Packard Acres Subdivision No. 2, which is
outlined in black here. Ustick Road is on the north of the screen. Wingate Lane is a
private lane that runs down and is adjacent to the east boundary and the application is
for these two -these two lots that are here in the northeast comer of this subdivision
and whaYs shown here is, actually, taken from a record ofr survey that adjusted the lot
lines. Earlier this year they felt that the shape of the lots wasn't working for them, so
they came through -this is an administrative approval process to adjust lot lines after
this body and the Counal have approved them and they are recorded and so what you
see here is -this dark line here is the new north boundary of this Lot 22, I believe it
was, and, then, Lot 23 and this diagonal line was the original platted lot line between
these finm lots and since they changed the lot line, of ceurse; the easement that was
normally platted when this -that needs to be vacated. There are no utilities in it to my
knowledge. ff you have any questions of the applicant, Pat Tealey is here tonight, lwt,
essentially, that's the request is to vacate utilities, drainage, and irrigation easement
between these two lot lines. It was five feet on either side of the line, so a ten foot total
width. We just put our standard recommendations in there as far as the conditions, that
they get letters of relinquishment from any utility companies who may have on record
that they have that for their use and we also recommended that prior to an issuance of a
certificate of occupancy -neither one of ti~se two lots have COs on them at this point.
I believe they have both been sold, but they don't have occupied houses and we - so
we are just asking for a new easement on this new lot line and other than that staff is
recommending approval of the vacation.
Borup: Okay. Comments, questions from any of the Commission?
Zaremba: Yes. Brad, your last statement, you're asking for a new easement that would
follow the new lot line? is that what you said?
Hawkins-Clark: Correct.
Zaremba: So that thane would still be a solution in any drainage issues?
