Notice of Public Hearing: The Notice of Public Hearing for Resolution 15 -2768 was published in the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday, August 13, 2015. Staff Presentation: Permitting & Construction Manager Marty Pawlikowski gave a brief overview of Resolution 15 -2768, explaining that if approved the ordinance would vacate a portion of Triplet Lake Drive starting at U.S. Highway 17 -92 and terminating at approximately the existing traffic circle. He added that this was in anticipation of City Commission approval of the City Center project which required a realignment of Triplet Lake Drive to accommodate the development on the adjacent property. He further explained that the proposed temporary easement would be put in place because of the construction sequencing, noting that ifthe right -of -way were vacated first there would not be a right -of -way for people to ingress and egress until the future road was constructed. He added that the ordinance also contained a clause that in the event the City Center project was not approved, the vacation of the right -of -way and the temporary easement would not be endorsed, as the effective date of the ordinance would be the same as approval of the plat for Lake Concord Park, and the site plan should also be approved at the same time, tying all three together for the approval ofthe City Center. In response to questions from Mr. Newlon, Mr. Pawlikowski reiterated and confirmed that in the event the City did not move forward with the City Center project, the vacation and temporary easement would not take effect. Budget Impact: There is no impact to the City budget. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Public Works Director recommended approval of Resolution 15 -2768.
