On July 11, 2019, the City of Coconut Creek City Commission approved a site plan application for construction of the Lyons Exchange Center, which included a new access onto Lyons Road, south of the existing platted opening, as an alternate means of access for large truck traffic. While the facility is currently under construction and nearing completion, the new access requires a turn lane per Broward County Engineering requirements, for which the applicant has secured the required permits.
As currently requested, the applicant is seeking approval to vacate a portion of a 12-foot wide utility easement on Tract "GB-1," running adjacent to Lyons Road, of the Springs-McKenzie Plat to provide the required space for the turn lane. A new easement will then be provided adjacent to the new turn lane to maintain the north / south utility easement connection along the road. New utilities and applicable easements will be provided consistent with City Engineering Department and other affected utility requirements. As required, the applicant has provided a letter of no objection from the City of Coconut Creek and other utility service providers.
