Staff updates committee on Horace rail‑corridor subdividing and drainage easements
Summary
Staff briefed the committee on work to subdivide a downtown Horace rail‑corridor segment into roughly 35 lots, reported landowner commitments, and said the city has proposed drainage easements to preserve existing drainage; staff seeks to finalize details before summer.
Committee staff provided an informational update on a segment of rail corridor in and adjacent to Horace, described in the packet as OAN 7234 B C and D.
Eric, the staff presenter, said the segment runs south of the elevator to Liberty Lane and lies within a developed portion of downtown Horace. He said staff has worked with the landowners to subdivide the corridor into about 35 lots and that all landowners have committed to proceed with purchasing their portion. The city has proposed drainage easements to preserve existing drainage flows so one landowner’s development will not adversely affect another’s property, Eric said.
Eric said staff has had preliminary meetings with landowners and city representatives and that several secondary conversations remain about drainage requirements. He described the update as informational and said staff hopes to have the details "buttoned up" before summer but that work is ongoing.
No committee action or vote was taken on the item; the presenter invited questions but none were raised during the meeting.
