THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A FULL EASEMENT CLOSING FOR A 20 FOOT UTILITY EASEMENT ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE COVE.

CROSSING DEVELOPMENT UTILITY EASEMENT REMAINS UNUSED AND CLOSING THE EASEMENT ALLOWS EXISTING VEGETATION AND TREES TO REMAIN INTACT.

OKAY.

ANY QUESTIONS OF CITY STAFF OF THE APPLICANT OR, I'M SORRY, DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO ADD? OKAY, THERE WE GO.

GOOD EVENING.

MARK ROBES, 1800 SOUTH SARAH ROAD.

ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICATION, THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD IS THIS AREA WAS ALWAYS INTENDED TO BE PRESERVED FOR, UH, TREES SOMEHOW, UM, THAT AN EASEMENT MADE IT ON TO THE PLAT AND IT DOESN'T ALLOW FOR US TO, IT, IT OPENS UP THE POSSIBILITY FOR UTILITIES TO COME IN THERE AND REMOVE THAT VEGETATION, THEREFORE IT CAN'T BE COUNTED TOWARDS OUR LANDSCAPE AND, AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN.

WE WANT THOSE TREES TO, TO REMAIN THERE.

SO WE NEED TO CLOSE THIS EASEMENT SO UTILITIES CAN'T USE IT.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT OR OF CITY STAFF FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? NO.

THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE, MR. SMITH, SO WITH THIS, I KNOW THAT THERE WAS, WHEN WE APPROVED THIS PUD AND THE PLAT, THE SITE PLAN WHEN IT CAME THROUGH, THERE WAS A DECENT AMOUNT OF A LANDSCAPE EASEMENT OR A TREE PRESERVATION, WHICH ONE WAS OVER THERE? DOES THIS ANY WAY REDUCE THE EASEMENT OR THE, THE, THE BUFFER ZONE THAT WE APPROVED WITH THAT? BECAUSE I KNOW SOMETIMES YOU CANNOT INCLUDE THESE EASEMENTS INTO THE BUFFER OR THE, THE EASEMENT PER SE THAT WAS ALLOWED THERE.

SO DOES THIS AFFECT THAT ANYWAY? NO, SIR.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS? NOPE.

UH, PUBLIC COMMENTS, ANYBODY WISH TO SPEAK FOR AGAINST THIS AGENDA ITEM? COME ON UP AS A REMINDER.

ASK ALL YOUR QUESTIONS OF ME ONCE WE GET ALL THE QUESTIONS ASKED.

PUBLIC COMMENTS WILL BE CLOSED.

WE'LL TRY TO GET YOUR ANSWERS.

TAYLOR WILSON, MY QUESTION IS, IS WAS THE HOUSE THAT'S RIGHT NEXT DOOR NOTIFIED DIRECTLY? OKAY.

UM, SINCE IT'S SO CLOSE AND IT'S 'CAUSE THE TREES COULD STAY THERE AND NOT AFFECT ANYTHING.

IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS A, AN ERROR IN THE PROCESSING OR THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRUCTURE AND NOT A, THE TREES CAN STILL STAY THERE IN AN EASEMENT.

NOBODY'S CUTTING DOWN TREES, SO, UM, IT JUST DON'T GET CREDIT FOR THEM.

SO I JUST WOULD ASK IS DID THE DIRECT PROPERTY OWNER HAVE DIRECT NOTIFICATION? OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ANYBODY ELSE, UH, WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS AGENDA ITEM? SEEING NONE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? OKAY, WE COME BACK, COME BACK UP FOR US.

MR. GRUBBS, THIS WAS A NOTICE REQUIREMENT OR A NOTICE CON CONVERSATION THAT WAS THE LAND LOWER.

DOES LANDOWNER TO YOUR WEST NOTIFIED ABOUT THE UTILITY CLOSING? UM, I, I'M NOT SURE.

UM, AND, AND MAYBE, UH, CITY STAFF MS. FRY CAN HELP ME WITH THIS OR MS. SMITH, BUT I BELIEVE THAT NOTICE IS REQUIRED.

UM, SO, UH, I I BELIEVE THAT WE WOULD'VE PUB WE WOULD'VE PROVIDED THE OWNERSHIP LIST AND, AND WE WOULD'VE FOLLOWED PROCEDURES, UH, GIVEN BY THE CITY.

IF THE CITY IS NOT REQUIRE OWNER NOTIFICATION, THEN NO, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN NOTICED.

BUT THERE IS A LANDSCAPE BUFFER THERE AS YOU WERE ASKING.

THIS DOESN'T CHANGE THAT.

OKAY.

UM, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WAS, I KNOW THAT WAS A POINT OF CONTENTION OR SLASH A AGREED UPON NUMBER DURING THE PROCESS WAS WIDER THAN NORMAL, CORRECT? YES.

AND BEING, AND WHEN WE FOUND OUT THAT THIS, WHEN WE DISCOVERED THAT THIS UTILITY EASEMENT WAS PLATTED, UH, THAT OPENS THE UP THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY PRIVATE UTILITY COMPANY TO COME IN THERE AND USE THAT EASEMENT.

SURE.

THEREFORE, THOSE TREES COULD BE TAKEN DOWN WHETHER THERE'S A TREE PRESERVATION, UH, UH, LOCATION THERE OR NOT WITHOUT OUR NOTICE.

AND WE WANT TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING.

OKAY.

AND THIS IS

[00:15:01]

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO PREVENT.

SO THANK YOU.

AND THEN, UH, CITY STAFF, IS THERE ANY, THIS DOESN'T PREVENT ANY EXPANSION.

I MEAN, I ASSUME THERE'S OTHER ACCESS POINTS TO THE OTHER PART OF THIS PLA THAT ALLOWS FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE, WHAT WOULD'VE BEEN IN THIS UTILITY EASEMENT? I MEAN, IT DIDN'T, WE DIDN'T LOCK OURSELVES OFF FROM GETTING ACCESS TO THE SAME THING JUST FROM A DIFFERENT AREA.

I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T DO THAT.

SO.

OKAY.

UM, DID YOU WANNA SPEAK TO THE NOTICE OR YOU, UH, YEAH.

EASEMENT CLOSINGS REQUIRE, UH, PROPERTY OWNER NOTICE, UH, 30 DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THE HEARING WITHIN 300 FEET OF THE EASEMENT SO THAT THAT NOTICE WOULD'VE BEEN MAILED TO THOSE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS AND THE HALL, 300 FOOT RADIUS.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? I WAS JUST GONNA SAY I APPRECIATE IT.

YEP.

APPRECIATE HIM DOING THAT.

PERFECT.

LOOKING FOR A MOTION AND A SECOND MOTION TO APPROVE? WE HAVE A MOTION SECOND AND A SECOND BY A VOTE OF FIVE TO ZERO THAT IS APPROVED.
