Staff: Revised plat for Endpoint lot 10 will create utility and drainage easement to encompass existing ditch

Planning staff presented a revised final plat for lot 10 in the Endpoint subdivision, submitted by 615 Design Group, saying the purpose is to create a public utility and drainage easement to encompass an existing ditch. "The purpose of this plat is to create a public utility and drainage easement Mhmm. To encompass an existing ditch. We have 12 standard requirements and are recommending approval subject to the staff notes," the staff member said.

A commissioner asked what the change involved and whether the ditch would be closed or rerouted. An applicant representative (identified in discussion as Kenneth) said the ditch currently cuts across a yard and the plan is to reroute it around the perimeter of the yard while creating a new easement that encompasses the relocated ditch banks.

Another staff speaker confirmed the revised easement is intended to encompass the new ditch up to the banks and to include the area needed for maintenance and access. No formal vote or motion appears in the transcript excerpt; the staff recommendation included 12 standard requirements and conditional approval based on staff notes.

The discussion was recorded during the meeting's consent agenda and focused on ensuring the easement covers the relocated ditch and that the new easement would be recorded.
