BACKGROUND:
This item was approved on First Reading at the January 14, 2021, City Commission Meeting.
The applicant/agent, Paul Brewer, Paul E. Brewer & Associates Inc., on behalf of the owner, Coconut Creek Aviation Assets (Willis Lease), Scott Flaherty, CEO, is seeking approval for the vacation of a portion of a 12-foot wide utility easement within a portion of Parcel "A," of the Lyons Corporate Plat, located at 4700 Lyons Technology Parkway. Willis Lease received site plan approval by the Planning and Zoning Board on August 8, 2018, and the City Commission on September 27, 2018, for a 24,350+/- square foot warehouse/office building. For reference, the Willis Lease site is approximately 3.75+/- acres in size, and was the last vacant building pad within Lyons Corporate Park.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant is seeking approval to vacate a portion of a 12-foot wide utility easement on a portion of Parcel "A" of the Lyons Corporate Plat. The existing easement runs through this portion of the site but was not used during construction of the Willis Lease building. Willis Lease has been completed, is in operation, and all utilities and easements necessary to service the building are currently in place in other locations on the site. Thus, in response to a request from City engineering staff, the applicant has submitted this vacation of easement application. Once approved, the vacation of this easement will ensure no future utility conflicts within the site.
As required, the applicant has provided a letter of no objection from the City of Coconut Creek and other utility service providers.
