Patrick Martinez presented the board with a replat for the new Independence High School site and described the technical elements the district is requesting.
"What this replat consists of is a consolidation of two parcels that the district purchased," Martinez said, and added the plan would remove the interior lot line, dedicate a 50-foot public utility easement, dedicate a 20-foot-wide water line easement on the south side, and dedicate a right-of-way easement for a deceleration lane entering the facility off Northern.
Board member Berry moved to approve the consolidation, grant the easements, and delegate authority to the superintendent to execute the final plat; Board member Smith seconded the motion and the board approved it by voice vote.
The action clears a procedural land-use step ahead of site development for the new high school. The board did not discuss funding sources, construction schedules, or traffic-engineering studies during the replat discussion; those items may appear in future agenda packets.
Next steps: the superintendent is authorized to sign the final plat and the district will proceed with the easement dedications as described.
