Council takes up petition to vacate dead-end section of Lake Hills Road; ordinance carried to next meeting
Summary
Attorney Barry McDonald sought first reading for a street vacation adjacent to Beachwalk on behalf of client Ed Rasmus, who wants to expand his home; departments gave preliminary nods and council carried the ordinance to a future public hearing for second reading.
Attorney Barry McDonald presented the petition on behalf of his client, Ed Rasmus, asking the council to vacate an undeveloped dead-end portion of Lake Hills Road that abuts the Beachwalk development. McDonald said the road provides no public connectivity, is effectively a dead end and is separated from Beachwalk by a perimeter fence; vacating it would allow the property owner to expand within setback rules pending any required zoning approvals.
Council members asked technical questions about whether variances or Board of Zoning Appeals approval would be needed for future expansion; McDonald said any required variance would go before the plan commission or board of zoning appeals and that utility easements would remain in place. The petition and companion ordinance were carried to the next meeting for second reading and the public hearing.
