Summary

Council approved a one-lot railroad plat that dedicates 50 feet of right-of-way along County Road 17, satisfies planning commission conditions and records easements for a stormwater culvert; one council member recused from the vote.

Staff summarized a previously opened public hearing for a one-lot railroad plat affecting property currently used for elevator buildings. The plat dedicates a 50-foot right-of-way along CR 17, includes an easement for a stormwater culvert and records that the northernmost elevator building will be within the dedicated right-of-way with a notation it may remain until removed.

Staff said planning commission conditions had been satisfied with minor redline changes since the last meeting. Following a brief council discussion and noting a recusal by one member, the council closed the public hearing and approved the plat by voice vote.

The approved plat includes a recorded easement for stormwater and an additional 12 feet of right-of-way on Center Avenue to accommodate existing pavement. Staff noted the plat contains a preservation note that if the elevator building is removed, it cannot be reinstalled within the right-of-way.

Next steps: staff will record the plat and file the dedications and easements as required.
