Summary

Staff recommended and the committee approved recommending that council authorize and record an easement relinquishment tied to the Lashwab development; staff said utilities will remain accessible and the deeded right-of-way will simplify maintenance.

City staff explained that during platting for the Lashwab development the existing utility easement should be relinquished and the utility access maintained through a deeded right-of-way. Clarbec said the developer requested relinquishment to move forward with deed work and city staff confirmed the area contains city sewer and water lines.

Mrs. Beck clarified that existing utilities in the easement include city sewer and water and that relinquishment would not prevent maintenance; staff said the intent is to deed the property as right-of-way to simplify long-term access. The committee voted to recommend the council authorize and record the relinquishment and place the item on the consent agenda.
