<br />The City is currently considering an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to relocate <br />the proposed future Twin Lakes Parkway to the south of its current planned location. <br />This would eliminate the need for the lona Lane right-of-way with the exception of the <br />need for a 40 foot wide easement for the sanitary sewer interceptor and City <br />underground utilities. If vacated, the right-of-way would revert back to the adjacent <br />property owners on,the north and south of the lona Lane right-of-way. To the north is <br />the Ryan Company'site, presently being developed. On the south is the Old Dominion <br />, trucking terminal site. Ryan Company's portion of the vacated right-of-way could be <br />used for temporary or permanent storm water ponding. There are no plans for <br />immediate use of th~ property by Old Dominion. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />, ' . <br />If the Comprehensive Plan is changed and the right,af...way. is no longer:needed for <br />Twin Lakes Parkway, the proposed right-of-way would not be needed for public <br />purposes.
