Vote: 5 to 0 (unanimous) Motion Carried
Harbin explained that this is an existing pipeline facility recently acquired by a new
owner. The new owner will be upgrading the facility which requires building permits,
therefore requiring the property to be platted. She stated a Specific Use Permit is also
being processed to allow the use. It is currently a non-conforming use.
McLean asked if the City had any concerns with the property being landlocked. Harbin
said a condition of the plat approval was to have the existing 40’ access easement
officially recorded prior to recordation of the plat.
O’Farrell asked Staff about a previous landlocked project and what the difference was
between the required access. Harbin said it may have been a difference in a public/private
road versus an easement.
