#2480 - Spring Hill - Prelim. Plat May?, 1999 Page 4 Trail Easement The Trail Agreement (Exhibit E) in Item 1 indicates that Spring Hill will grant to the City an expansion of right-of-way for the trail along Spring Hill Road and Tamarack Drive, These dedications are not shown on the plat, eind unless shown as expanded right-of-way, would not be accepted by the County on the plat drawings. The County normally does not allow easements to appear on plats except for right-of-ways or for drainage/wetlands/utilities. Assuming that the City will ultimately come to a final conclusion on the trail locations, the easement for the portions of such trail within Spring Hill's boundaries can be created by either of 2 options: 1 . Dedication as additional road right-of-way on the plat; or 2. Granted by metes and bounds description in a separate trail easement document. The attached resolution assumes that option 2 will prevail. If Council wishes to have the right-of- ways of Tamarack and Spring Hill widened within this plat, then the language of the attached preliminary plat approval resolution will have to be revised. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the proposed plat subject to: 1. 3. 4. 5.
