Staff does acknowledge that there is potential opposition to the overall easement vacation by PSD, LLC. However, Staff, PSD, and Capstone continue to work on potential solutions that meet the City's obligation to vacate a public easement no longer needed, provide the necessary corridor for the existing Connexus Energy transmission line, and the desire of the two developments to provide adequate density transitioning. At this point, Staff does not believe the City Council should postpone introducing the ordinance, as it is not the final action for approval. Staff believes an appropriate solution can be worked out before the Ordinance is adopted on June 13, 2017 as currently scheduled. Staff notes this topic for transparency purposes. Funding Source: All costs associated with processing the request are the responsibility of the Applicant. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council introduce the Ordinance Staff acknowledges that opposition from an adjoining property owner exists. Staff will attempt to resolve this issue prior to the June 13, 2017 City Council Meeting where the City Council is scheduled to take action on adopting this Ordinance along with Preliminary Plat approval for Riverstone Addition. Introducing the Ordinance this evening does not obligate the City Council to approve the request.
