Background and Discussion:
Copperleaf Filing No. 19 established four Lots and Tract B. Lot 1 is currently being developed and The Garrett Companies, on behalf of the property owner, Copperleaf Senior Living, LLC, has submitted a Final Plat application (PF21-007) to combine Lots 2, 3, 4, and Tract B into two lots. Vacation of the public use easement adjacent to Copperleaf Boulevard will allow for right-of-way dedication, if the associated final plat is approved by the Board of County Commissioners. The existing drainage and utility easements are not consistent with the associated site plan and Final Plat and shall be vacated to accommodate the proposed development. If this vacation case, associated Final Plat and site plan are approved, the Final Plat will establish access and utility easements. The applicant will also need to record easements to allow East Cherry Creek Water and Sanitation District to serve the proposed development prior to signature of the Final Plat.
Alternatives:
The Board of County Commissioners has alternatives that include the following:
1. Approve the proposed easement vacation with conditions of approval.
2. Continue to a date certain for more information.
