Title
Appl. #PL2017-105 - VACATION OF EASEMENT - Two blanket water line easements generally located at the southeast corner of SE M-291 Hwy. & SE Bailey Rd.; The Grove at Lee’s Summit, LLC, applicant
Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant has requested to vacate two blanket water line easements that cover land being developed as the first phase of The Grove. The easements were granted to the Public Water District #4 (now the City of Lee’s Summit Water Utilities Department) and will no longer be required. New, and appropriately sized, easements are being dedicated on the final plat (Appl. #PL2017-089) The Grove at Lee’s Summit, Lots 1, 2, & Tract A.
The easements currently contain only public water line infrastructure. There are no other public or private utilities located within the subject easements. The subject easements were specifically dedicated to the Public Water District #4 by separate document. As a result, no input regarding the vacation request is required from any private utilities. No objection to the vacation was raised by the City’s Water Utilities Department.
This vacation of easement application will not be placed on a City Council agenda for approval until such time as the final plat dedicating new easements is approved and recorded.
Recommendation
Recommendation: Staff recommends APPROVAL of the vacation of easement.
