Summary

Council closed Public Hearing 1 and adopted Ordinance 87‑64 to vacate a 10‑foot utility easement on Lot 1 of Turkey Creek 3rd Subdivision after staff explained conduit is abandoned in place and utility loops have been relocated.

During Public Hearing 1 the council considered vacating an existing 10‑foot utility easement in Turkey Creek 3rd Subdivision. The planning commission recommended approval, and Craig Bennett explained the easement had been abandoned in place and that a new utility loop now serves the area. Bennett told the council that construction crews “will find conduit” in the ground but that “the wire has been pulled,” meaning the abandoned conduit is not energized and the lot will be buildable once vacated.

Council member (recorded on the transcript as the motion maker) moved to close the hearing, suspend the three‑reading rule and place Ordinance 87‑64 on final passage; a second was recorded and the roll call vote passed the ordinance. The council then moved that Ordinance 87‑64 be passed, approved and published as provided by law.
