SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Vacating a Blanket Utility Easement on Lot 46 of Tanglewood Oaks Subdivision (K. Hovnanian Homes - 17-00518 / SG13/3-16.226-VAC/E/DED/E - TV - Ward 5)
PURPOSE:
The Petitioner, K. Hovnanian Homes, is requesting approval of a Plat of Vacation of a blanket utility easement on Lot 46 of Tanglewood Oaks Subdivision.
BACKGROUND:
The Subject Property is located at Lot 46 of Tanglewood Oaks Subdivision and is owned Tanglewood Oaks Homeowner's Association. The property is zoned E(S) Estate Single Family Detached Dwelling zoning, which is part of the Tanglewood Oaks Special Use Planned Development.
Commonwealth Edison inadvertently installed an underground cable on Lot 28 being a single family residential lot. In order to accommodate this encroachment, the Petitioner is proposing to grant a blanket utility easement over the north 10 feet of Lot 28 and to vacate 10 feet of the blanket utility easement on Lot 46 adjacent to the south lot line of Lot 28. This will allow the Petitioner and the Tanglewood Homeowner's Association to then be able to swap these areas essentially shifting the single family lot 10 feet south so that it can still accommodate a single family house.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has reviewed the Plat of Vacation petition and have sent comments back to the petitioner on those submittals. The petitioner has made the requested revisions to these documents and they now meet the applicable codes and ordinances
IMPACT STATEMENT :
The Planning and Zoning Division anticipates that this will not have a negative impact to the surrounding area.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff would recommend APPROVAL of the Ordinance Vacating a Blanket Utility Easement on Lot 46 of Tanglewood Oaks Subdivision.
