Planning commission recommends vacation of access easement at East 100 and Third Place
Summary
The Commerce City Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend City Council approve the vacation of an access easement at East 100 and Third Place to allow future development at East 104th Avenue and Peoria Parkway.
The Commerce City Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that City Council approve case B25-0001, the vacation of an access easement commonly known as East 100 and Third Place, a staff presentation said the easement is approximately 886 feet in length and will be replaced by a new access alignment tied to a concurrent Turnberry plat application.
Planner Nick Berry told the commission the current dirt access connects only to Peoria Parkway and that a concurrent Turnberry filing (S24-0014) will create a new access easement connecting both Peoria Parkway and East 104th Avenue; the new access will shift roughly 50 feet south to improve spacing from East 104th Avenue and turning movements. Berry said staff found the vacation meets the approval criteria in the Land Development Code and recommended approval to council. No members of the public spoke on the case at the hearing.
Nick Allen, representing Resco Properties, the applicant, said he had no formal presentation and was available for questions. "I'm here to answer any questions you have regarding the development," Allen said. Commissioner Van Heusen moved the recommendation; Commissioner Sanchez seconded. Electronic voting on the motion recorded five yeses, zero nos and zero abstentions.
The packet and staff presentation identified two other pending Turnberry-related applications: S24-0010 (infrastructure for a new access easement) and PUDP 24-0018 (a planned fueling station for Lot 1). Staff noted the Turnberry filing that enabled development in the area was recorded in February 2005 and that an access easement was granted to the city in February 2007 to allow a temporary RTD station on leased land. Staff and the applicant said the vacation is intended to remove the existing easement that would be replaced by the newly dedicated access constructed under the concurrent plat.
The commission closed the public hearing on the case before voting and recommended the vacation to City Council for final action.
