Title
Release of Easement to Westchester, LLC. (B)
Staff is requesting approval of a Release of Easement to Westchester, LLC.
Explanation
In February 2004, Arthur D. Weiss granted the City a public utility easement located in the 8000 block of NW 43rd Street. The property was proposed to be developed as the Krystle Pines subdivision. Since that time the property has been sold to another owner/developer and is now being developed as Westchester subdivision. The new owner of the property has changed the configuration of the proposed streets, lots and utility easement locations. Therefore, they have requested the City to grant a Release of the existing public utility easement.
Staff has reviewed this request for a Release of Easement and recommends the granting of the same. Any new easements that will be required to cover new utility facilities for service to the Westchester subdivision will either be dedicated to the City in the plats of the subdivision or covered in off-site easements as provided by the owner.
Recommendations
The City Commission: 1) approve the release of a public utility easement located in the 8000 block west of NW 43 Street; and 2) authorize the Mayor and Clerk of the Commission to execute the Release of Easement, substantially in the form on file, subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
Fiscal Note
There is no fiscal impact to the City.
