Stage 2 Meeting Date:

Petitioner:
By-Pass Development LLC
Staff Contact:
Fletcher Lacock, Current Planner III
Location:
Southwest corner of Elk Vale Drive and Seger Drive intersection
Agenda Item Summary:
The applicant has submitted a vacation of a note on a plat request which states “no access to Lot 5 of Block 1 from North Elk Vale Road”. On December 5, 2016, the vacation of a note on a plat request was denied. North Elk Vale Road is identified as a Principal Arterial Street on the City’s Major Street Plan. As per Section 2.2.2 of the Infrastructure Design Criteria Manual, arterial streets serve the highest traffic volume corridors and are designed with limited access to preserve capacity and to enhance safety. Lot 5 of Block 1 has access to Seger Drive, a lower order street. It is anticipated that the intersection of North Elk Vale Road and Seger Drive will be signalized in the future. Vacating the note on a plat may cause a conflict in the future between the applicant’s proposed approach location and the future signalization of the intersection
