Staff presents utility easement vacation request for South Collier Boulevard; applicant to update expired utility letter

Planning staff read a resolution seeking the vacation of a utility and drainage easement (LV26‑000019) along the common lot line between 531 and 541 South Collier Boulevard and described the request as quasi‑judicial. Mary Holden told the board that utility providers, including the city's public water and sewer, had reviewed the application and had 'signed off with no conditions.'

The applicant’s representative said the filing was submitted months ago and acknowledged that the LCEC letter included in the packet had expired: "It expired 7 days ago. I would ask if that's a concern that I get an updated letter before council," he said, and offered to provide the updated letter as a condition of any recommendation to council. The board did not take final council action on the vacation at the planning‑board step and noted the item would return as required for final processing.
