Developer may be allowed to remove trail obligation along CSX at Arbors at Autumn Ridge; staff supports reserving public access easement
The developer for the Arbors at Autumn Ridge asked to remove a previously required concrete trail that would have run between rear yards and a CSX railroad line; staff supported the change, saying the developer met earlier amenities obligations and will reserve a public-access easement should the city later build a trail.
The full story
The Planning Commission reviewed a preliminary-plat modification for the Arbors at Autumn Ridge on May 27 asking to remove a previously required concrete trail along the rear of lots adjacent to the CSX railroad line. Staff said the subdivision had previously provided an amenities package that exceeded the prior zoning code minimums, and that the city’s bicycle and greenway plan no longer requires an immediate connection at that location. Staff supported the developer’s request on the condition the developer reserve the strip as a public-access easement should the city later decide to construct a trail in that location.
