Subject: Releasing Property within the Sanctuary at Oak Ridge Plat from Past City
Approvals
Proposed Action
Adopt Resolution 2018-088 releasing property within Sanctuary at Oak Ridge plat from certain
recorded documents.
Overview
This is a “housekeeping” item related to finalizing the Sanctuary at Oak Ridge Plat. The property
that is to be platted as Sanctuary at Oak Ridge was previously part of the plat of Oak Ridge Place
2nd Addition. In August of 2003, the City Council approved a site plan (City Council Resolution
05-67) and variance (City Council Resolution 05-69) related to a condominium project that was
never developed. The current owner of the Property, Airborne Construction Oak Ridge, LLC,
requests the City Council adopt a resolution releasing the property from these approvals and
resolution. This request has been reviewed by staff and the City Attorney and both recommend
approval.
