Mr.

Thank you, Stephen.

Are there any questions about the previous meetings?

Minutes.

Seeing no questions, I'll entertain a motion for approval.

Second.

We have a motion by Commissioner Turner and a second by Commissioner Reed.

I want to do a voice vote.

All in favor?

Aye.

Any opposed?

Motion passes.

First case, VA 26010.

Vacation of right-of-way stub outs along Maple Orchard Lane, Council District 8.

General location is north of Oak Grove Shelby Road and east of Wichita Street and west of Brendan Road.

Applicant is GM Civil.

Morning Commissioners.

We have a very large docket today.

This is our one case.

Here was originally planned for R2, single family attached townhomes with alleys.

Even though this property zone for R2, you can still do single family within that zoning district.

So they are vacating those two little stub outs there.

They're retaining the other stubs because that's where the streets are going to be, but they're no longer going to need the alleys because they'll no longer be real rear loaded product here.

So this is what the new plat looks like.

And let me see if I can find the stubs here.

Right here.

And right there.

And so in order to remove those little stubs of right-of-way, I have to submit a right-of-way vacation application.

Recommendation from y'all, and then go on to city council for an ordinance.

Any questions?

Uh, you actually answered one of mine, which was, was there a plat that already showed these alleys?

So are they going to have to have approval to have this denser housing without the alleys in the section of development?

This is not dense, it's not denser.

All they did is they withdrew the previous preliminary plat revision and went back to the version that already been previously approved by city planning commission.

Okay.

It's it's less dense.

Well, it's actually less dense if the new.

Okay.

Thank you.

Any other questions?

Is the applicant here?

Anyone here to speak in favor or against?

Seeing none, I'll close the public hearing.

And I will entertain a motion.

It looks like uh Commissioner Sims is not here today, so if someone will move on his behalf.

I'll make a motion to approve a recommendation for VA twenty six oh one oh to city council for the vacation right away step out to your along the northern side of Maple Orchard Lane.

I second.

It's like we have a motion by Commissioner Henderson and a second by Commissioner Turner.
