Council vacates small Prairie Hawk Drive right-of-way to allow Brickyard development to proceed

Castle Rock — The Town Council unanimously approved an ordinance on Oct. 21 to vacate a 0.42-acre strip of Prairie Hawk Drive right-of-way adjacent to the Brickyard development and to incorporate that land into the Brickyard planned development zone.

Planning staff said the sliver of right-of-way is unimproved today (covered with crushed millings) and that utilities are located in the area; the ordinance preserves utility easements over the vacated portion. The Brickyard developer will incorporate the land into private property and construct Prairie Hawk Drive as part of the Brickyard public improvements, converting the current surface to a paved town street with curb, gutter, sidewalk and parallel parking where shown in the site drawings.

Councilmember Davis moved to approve the ordinance; Mayor Pro Tem Kavey seconded. Roll call vote was unanimous, 7-0.

Staff noted that public works and utility providers reviewed the vacation and that the Brickyard project will return to council with final site development details as required.
