Council annexes two Firestone Drive parcels, approves multiple easement vacations and accepts Bradford Station phase 3 for maintenance
Summary
The council voted unanimously to annex and zone two parcels on Firestone Drive to R‑1A upon annexation, approved several easement vacations to clear the way for backyard and commercial improvements, and accepted Bradford Station phase 3 into the city's maintenance program.
The Madison City Council voted to annex and zone two single‑family properties on Firestone Drive and approved several related land‑use items during the Jan. 13 meeting.
The council approved annexation and zoning of 145 Firestone Drive to R‑1A. The planning staff noted the property is “currently in the county, so it doesn't have any zoning. They're requesting R‑1A. It is developed with a single family house,” and the Planning Commission and staff recommended approval. The motion to approve the annexation was made by Council member Robleski and seconded by Council member Shaw; the roll call vote recorded ayes from Robleski, Shaw, Council President Seifert, Spears, Powell, Bartlett and Denzine.
The council also approved annexation and zoning of 174 Firestone Drive to R‑1A by motion of Council member Powell with a second from Council member Spears; the Planning Commission and staff recommended approval. Council members again voted unanimously in favor.
On related land‑use items the council approved several easement vacations to permit property improvements: a utility/drainage easement vacation at 102 Still Meadow Drive (Hilltop Ridge subdivision), a reduction of a drainage easement within Lot 3B of First Commercial Park (Hughes Road) to facilitate commercial development, and an easement reduction at 116 Forest Clay Drive in Old Ivy (leaving a 5‑foot easement). Staff said utilities and city departments had signed off on those requests.
Engineering also brought a resolution accepting Bradford Station Phase 3 into the city's maintenance program; staff confirmed the subdivision met required standards and the council approved the acceptance.
All votes on the zoning, annexation and easement items were recorded as affirmative by council roll call; specific motions and seconders were placed on the record for the annexations and the vacation items followed standard approval motions and roll‑call votes during the agenda.
