Pate, Director of Current Planning Date: July 14, 2006 Subject: Easement Vacation for Washington Regional Medical Center (VAC 06-2139) RECOMMENDATION Planning Staff recommends approval of an ordinance vacating the utility easements filed for record on easement plats filed in 2000, 2001 and 2003 for Washington Regional Medical Center, as well as a portion of Northhills Boulevard right-of-way. BACKGROUND The subject property contains 52.03 acres, delineated by Appleby Road to the south, Futrall Road to the north and Northhills Boulevard to the south. The property is zoned R- O and developed for Washington Regional Medical Center. Numerous easement and rights-of-way dedications have occurred on this property. Easement plats have been filed in 2000, 2001 and 2003, respectively. The Planning Commission recently approved significant building additions; several of the approved structures were proposed atop of existing utilities and easements. Therefore, the large scale development was approved with the condition that easements be vacated prior to issuance of a permit, and a new easement plat be prepared and filed dedicating any additional or amended utility easements. The applicant requested the vacation of portions of easements on the subject property. Because several conflicting easement plats in previous years have been filed, staff recommends the following vacations: 1 . Vacate all utility easements on the 2000 Easement Plat (Book 16, Page 72): 2. Vacate all Utility easements on the 2001 Easement Plat (Book 17, Page 96). 3 . Vacate all utility easements on the 2003 Easement Plat (Book 23A, Page 47). 4. Vacate a portion of the Northhills Boulevard right-of-way that was dedicated across the existing box culvert west of the street. The applicant shall dedicate drainage/utility easement in place of the right-of-way. The applicant shall file a new easement plat to replace all necessary easements to serve all utility company and city services. Neither the utility representatives nor the city service representatives had any objections to the requested vacations. City Council Meeting of August 01 , 2006 Agenda Item Number DISCUSSION Notification was provided to all appropriate utility representatives and to the City. This item was heard on consent at the regular Planning Commission on July 10, 2006. The Planning Commission voted 8-0-0 to recommend this vacation request to the City Council. Staff finds the modified request to be a better way to facilitate additional easement dedications. BUDGETIMPACT None. ORDINANCE NO.
