Land Use <br /> <br />Rlc, Single Family / LR, Low Density Residential. <br /> <br />Analysis <br /> <br />As the City Council is aware, the City and Grace Assembly of God Church entered into a partnership to <br />re-plat the Grace Assembly of God Church property in order for the City to purchase 11 acres for a park. <br />The plat has since been approved and the engineering staff has been working to prepare the mylars for <br />recording. During the title work, it was determined that the easements recorded in 1996 as a result of the <br />administrative subdivision, include the word "street" in their description. It is not the intent of the City <br />to utilize these easements for street purposes; therefore the easements should be vacated. New <br />easements will be recorded once the plat of Grace Assembly of God Church is recorded. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution vacating street, drainage and <br />utility easements on the Grace Assembly of God Church property. <br /> <br /> <br />
