Phoenix Enterprises/EVE 95-2 March 20, 1995 ---------------------- • Analysis Page 2 As briefly mentioned above, the requested easement vacation is necessary to accommodate the actual location of the proposed office building. Originally, the developers thought enough of the existing easements were vacated to accommodate the anticipated office building. However, after refining the development plans for the office building, it was discovered the building still encroaches approximately 20 feet into the existing drainage and utility easement. The area to be vacated is approximately 10,000 square feet in size. It is located within what is currently platted as Outlot A, Cherryhill Bluffs. A portion of Outlot A has been included in the (unrecorded) approved plat of Hillside Crossing South. The requested area to be vacated is specifically located in Lot 1, Block 1, which is the proposed site for the office building. The request by the applicant to vacate all of Outlot A is obviously much larger than the area actually needed to be vacated to accommodate the office building. However, the applicant is requesting all of Outlot A, Cherryhill Bluffs to be vacated for the ease of description purposes. If the easement vacation is approved by the City Council, the balance of Outlot A, Cherryhill Bluffs will either be deeded to the City or retained by the developer. (See Attachment B). That portion retained by the developer will be made part of the Hillside Crossing South plat and have a drainage and utility easement reestablished and recorded on the plat as originally approved. The platting of this property, coupled with all of the vacation requests and development plans have created somewhat of a convoluted project. However, when it is all said and done, a majority of the easement along the natural ridge line will remain in place until further development activity. The City will have also obtained, by way of final plat for Hillside Crossing South, a deed for the regional pond, and the developer will have the appropriate drainage and utility easements vacated to allow construction this spring of the office building on Lot 1, Block 1, Hillside Crossing South. Recommendation It is recommended the City Council approve Resolution 95- vacating a portion of drainage and utility easements in Outlot A, Cherryhill Bluffs, with the following conditions:
