Board approves discontinuance of Glory Road to allow developer replat and new lots
Summary
The Board of Public Works voted to recommend discontinuing a platted (but undeveloped) section of Glory Road to allow a developer to replat the parcel for about 21 new lots; utilities easements will remain and the developer will build and dedicate the new road to the city.
The Board of Public Works on April 7 approved recommending discontinuance of a platted section of Glory Road to permit a developer’s replat and new street design.
Staff explained Glory Road was platted decades ago but the right-of-way was never developed; a new buyer wants to replat the property with a U-shaped street that would create ingress and egress and allow retention ponds and modern stormwater features. Staff said utilities would be preserved by easement and that the developer would be responsible for constructing the roadway and utilities to city specifications and for dedicating the road to the city for future maintenance.
Staff said preliminary, conceptual plans showed the potential for roughly 21 lots; final lot counts and plan details will be governed by the developer agreement and city standards. Board members discussed connectivity to Alcan Road and nearby House Road and were told the new street would connect to Alcan; the area south of Jennings Street will be incorporated into the mini (storm) system as work proceeds.
Mr. Dorsey moved to approve and recommend the petition to discontinue Glory Road; the motion was seconded and carried on voice vote.
Staff said the developer would likely enter a developer agreement similar to recent projects (e.g., Romanesco and Ritzloff) that define construction standards and dedication terms; no city construction funding was reported for the new roadway.
