Title
Ordinance Vacating Portions of Valley View Drive; and Providing for Its Emergency Adoption on Second and Final Reading (Second Reading)
Body
______________________________________________________________________
The ordinance was approved by Town Council on first reading on August 16, 2016 by a vote of 6-0.
Executive Summary
Starwood Land Ventures, LLC, the owner and developer of the Terrain residential community, is requesting a vacation of public rights-of-way for portions of Valley View Drive and Rocky View Road which travel through the community (Figure 1). Because these roads are open for public use, review and approval by Town Council is required. Due to the need to build the newly platted roads and to relocate the existing underground facilities into them as soon as possible an emergency adoption at 2nd and final reading is being requested.
Budget Impact
There will be no budget impact as the Town does not receive compensation for vacating right-of-way.
Staff Recommendation
Staff finds that Starwood Land Ventures, LLC (SLV) has demonstrated that the proposed rights-of-way vacations will not create parcels or lots without access as SLV has platted replacement rights-of-way which will be constructed prior to the deconstruction of the existing rights-of-way. In addition, staff finds that the rights-of-way vacations are consistent with the Terrain Planned Development Plan. Staff recommends approval of the proposed rights-of-way vacations.
Proposed Motion
I move to approve the Ordinances as introduced by title.
