BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date: N/A
Background:
Replacement - The private easement on Sedona Drive is now a public right-of-way. The staff recommendation and map have been updated.
Sedona Subdivision was recorded in 2011 and contains private streets. The original developer wished to have public streets, but lack of right-of-way prevented the County from taking the streets over for maintenance. When being developed, the subdivision did not have frontage on a County maintained street and one property owner between the subdivision and the county road would only grant a private easement to the developer for the subdivision.
Timeline:
- Preliminary Plat approved by Planning Commission on May 2006 (preliminary plat showed a public street for access).
- Late June 2006, it was discovered that a portion of the access to the site is a private easement. The developer was notified.
- Developer tried to negotiate/acquire a public right-of-way but the property owner would only allow the private easement.
- In December 2007, Final Plat approved by Planning Commission (with private streets due to the private easement).
- Final Plat recorded June 2011 with private streets.
The Sedona Subdivision Property Owners Association attended the September 24, 2019 Work Session to discuss maintenance of roads in their subdivision. Since that time, the property owner of the private easement has agreed to sale that portion of roadway to the Property Owners Association.
