Council sets public hearing to vacate Copper Hills Phase One utility easement
Summary
Council approved a resolution to set a public hearing next month to vacate a papered utility easement in Copper Hills Phase One where a water line has been moved; staff said no active utilities remain in the easement and the vacation is needed to approve final plats.
City staff told the council that developers moved the water line serving Copper Hills Phase One and that the recorded easement is now a vacated easement on paper only. Because the easement remains on record, the city must formally vacate it through a public hearing process before the developer can record final plats and build over the former easement.
Staff said no other utilities are located in the recorded easement and that the existing water line was relocated to F Street and is operational. Council approved a resolution to set a public hearing next month to consider vacating the easement; the developer’s final plat will be brought back for approval after that step.
The council emphasized that the resolution does not itself vacate the easement; it merely schedules the required public hearing and starts the statutory process for vacation of a recorded easement.
