AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY May 5, 2015
City Council
STAFF
Marc Ragasa, Civil Engineer
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 055, 2015, Vacating Right-of-Way as Dedicated on a Plat of Registry Ridge
Fourth Filing.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to vacate Cabot Court, Nimitz Drive, Hornet Drive, Kitty Hawk Court and Enterprise
Drive right-of-way that is no longer necessary or desirable to retain for street purposes. The property is
proposed to be replatted as Registry Ridge Seventh Filing, which was approved through an Administrative
Hearing on March 5, 2015.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In April 2002, a plat was filled as part of the Registry Ridge Fourth Filing, which included Cabot Court, Hornet
Drive, Kitty Hawk Court and Nimitz Drive and Enterprise Drive south of Bon Homme Richard Drive. Public
improvements for Registry Ridge Fourth Filing were not completed and the project has expired.
A proposed subdivision, Registry Ridge Seventh Filing, intends to replat portions of Registry Ridge Fourth
Filing and was approved through administrative hearing on March 5, 2015. The applicant has requested this
vacation because they wish to change the roadway alignment to utilize a different housing product than what
was approved with the Registry Ridge Fourth Filing.
Vacating public right-of-way is governed by City Code Section 23-115, which provides for an application and
review process prior to submission to the City Council for formal consideration. The process includes
notification and review of the request by potentially affected utility agencies, City staff, emergency service
providers, and affected property owners adjacent to the proposed right-of-way vacation. This review process
was followed in conjunction with the review of the Registry Ridge Seventh Filing Development Plan.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
There are no financial impacts to the vacation of this portion of right of way.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
A memorandum requesting input was sent to the utility providers, potentially impacted City departments and
adjacent property owners. The other adjacent property owners and the person requesting the vacation are one
in the same and thus no letters were sent to adjacent property owners.
