At a glance
Based on human (CART) captions; names and numbers may be misspelled.
- What: vacation (VAC26-000006) of 744 sq ft of unexcavated canal right-of-way and platted easements beside the Majestic Canal at 5350 Melaleuca Court, for a future pool.
- Where it stands: approved by the Hearing Examiner on October 20, 2026.
- Next: City Council action; the video does not give a date.
The proposal
- The easement area is given as 588 sq ft in one place and 558 sq ft in another in the captions.
- The home is new construction (demolition permit February 2026, new permit March 2026) on a 12,988 sq ft lot; density stays about 3.2 units per acre against a 4.4 limit.
- The strip is upland and not part of the working canal, so boat movement is unaffected; the city keeps a 6-foot perimeter easement (643 sq ft).
- Brittany Harris represented the owners and accepted the conditions.
Conditions
- Vacation matches the surveyor's sketches; owner relocates any telephone, cable or electric facility at its cost; owner pays recording fees.
- Candace Ward reported one resident call with a question; no public comment.
