Community Development Director, Greg Last informed the Commission
that this was the first time to his knowledge that a Plat Vacation
has come before them. Mr. Last said that the Subdivision Ordinance
483, Section 2.05, allows for the vacation of a plat previously
filed by the City upon application of the owners of all lots in the
original plat, and upon approval of the plat vacation, the vacated
plat has no effect. Mr. Last then commented that Staff had
developed a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Plat Vacations,
and had routed it through the City Attorney. The City Attorney
suggested we process the Plat Vacation through the Planning and
Zoning Commission then pass it on to the City Council.
Mr. Last informed the Commission that Mr. Michael J. Filingeri had
previously combined two lots that he had purchased and was now
requesting to vacate that plat so he may sell one of the original
lots. Mr. Last said that the Staff has no problems with the
request.

Council, and Developer he felt it would be inappropriate to discuss

of the plat impacted by the results of a hydraulic study along the
