Approve May 7, 2024, Minutes Motion: Hurley moved, McBee seconded to approve the minutes of the May 7, 2024, as presented. The motion passed unanimously. 5-0 4. Final Plat Approval – Park Glen Estates Median At the April 2, 2024, meeting the Board after lengthy discussion made a motion to vacate the median at the entrance of Park Glen Estates and give it to the Park Glen Estates HOA. CED spent some time and asked around how can a city vacate something in the middle of the road. By state statute, when a right of way is vacated it is split 50/50 with the property owners on either side of it. This means that if the city vacated the middle of the road, then the ownership would automatically become 50/50 with owners of Lots 1 and 11, Block 1 of Park Glen Estates. Then they would in turn have to sign over ownership to the Park Glen Estates Homeowners Association. Instead of vacating the area the cleanest way to notate the area and sign over proper ownership was to create another “subdivision” for the median, a.k.a Reserve A. A letter was sent out to all property owners within 200’ of the median asking them to send in written comments. No one had any comments. In accordance with Section 32-92 – Final Plat of our City Code, CED has prepared a Final Plat for the Park Glen Estates Median Addition for your recommendation to City Council. The Final Plat will be approved by the City Council who will take your recommendation into consideration. The Board discussed the options but ultimately wants the Park Glen Estates to be the owners of the median. Motion: McBee moved, Riggans seconded to approve the final plat of Park Glen Estates Median Plat Page 1 of 4 Reserve as presented. The motion passed unanimously. 5-0 5.
