RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The owner and developer of the Windtrail Townhomes P.U.D. has requested the vacation of a portion of street right-of-way for Hill Pond Road. The P.U.D. is located on the east side of Shields Street (east of the Sundering Townhomes) just south of Spring Creek as shown on the attached location map. The area of the street right-of-way proposed for vacation is highlighted on Map #2. At the time the P.U.D. was platted, Hill Pond Road was planned to extend to the east and eventually tie in to future Centre Avenue. Since that time. the developer and the City Natural Resources Department have agreed on a plan that minimizes impacts to the existing wetland in the larger area surrounding the development. Since the extension of Hill Pond Road to the east as originally planned would disturb a significant wetland, the developer has platted new street right-of-way for a north -south street which will minimize impacts to the wetland and provide access to future Centre Avenue. Therefore, the platted street right-of-way for the extension of Hill Pond Road is no longer necessary from a traffic circulation standpoint, nor is it desirable to extend the road as originally planned due to the disturbance of the wetland. The right-of-way proposed for vacation will be retained for a utility and drainage easement. Upon vacation of the right-of-way, the developer will deed the area to the Windtrail Townhomes Homeowners' Association for open space.
