RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact since the easements will improve the drainage system over what was done with the original platting of the Prospect Industrial Park. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The proposed development, Prospect Industrial Park Lot 32 Midpoint Self Storage, is a part of the Prospect Industrial Park Subdivision,which subdivision was approved by the City in 1978. Lot 32 is located on Midpoint Drive approximately 350 feet northwesterly of what is now part of the Prospect Ponds Natural Area. The original overall drainage plan for the subdivision called for all of Lot 32 to drain into the ponds. The current drainage plan under the new Project Development Plan(PDP)calls for Lot 32 to have two on-site water quality ponds. From the water quality ponds, only the one located on the northeasterly part of the lot will drain into a storm sewer line that extends across and under a part of the City Property where this easement is requested. The granting of the easements across City property (including a permanent easement and a temporary construction easement)for the storm drainage flows will provide for an improvement of the drainage system over what was done with the original platting of the Prospect Industrial Park. This easement request has been reviewed and approved by the Utilities and Natural Resources Departments as well as the Natural Resources Advisory Board.
