Re: Ordinance 44-21 through 53-21 – Authorizing the City Manager to
Execute Easements along the Indian Run Meadows Planned Use
Development Corridor for Landscape Maintenance
Background
Ordinances 44-21 through 53-21 are a series of Ordinances for securing landscape maintenance
easements associated with the Greenway Corridor Program that was initiated by City Council last
year for the properties adjoining Avery-Muirfield Drive in the Indian Run Meadows Subdivision.
This program includes securing landscape easements from property owners along the corridor,
allowing the City to take over maintenance of the appropriate tree and shrub screening as
reflected in the Development Text. Attached are previous staff reports related to this Ordinance for
reference and additional details regarding the required screening (Appendix A).
Staff has contacted each property owner along the Corridor requesting their participation in the
program. Of the 29 private property owners that were contacted, 23 affirmed they are interested
in participating, one owner declined to participate, one owner is undecided, and four were not
responsive to the request. Staff will continue to communicate with those whom have not
responded to ensure they are aware of the program.
The landscape easements included in the above referenced Ordinances are from property owners
that have, thus far, submitted notarized documents affirming their desire to participate in the
program. The easements consist of the following property interests from each of the named
property owners, as depicted on the attached map (Appendix B).

Memo re. Ordinances 44-21 through 53-21 – Easements -Indian Run Meadows Planned Use Development

Page 2 of 2
As additional notarized documents are received, additional landscape easements will be brought
forward for City Council’s consideration in the future in efforts to secure landscape easements
along the entire corridor.
Recommendation
In accordance with City Council’s direction to implement the Greenway Corridor Program, staff
recommends approval of Ordinances 44-21 through 53-21, authorizing the City Manager to
execute easements along the Indian Run Meadows Planned Use Development Corridor for
landscape maintenance. If council members have any questions related to these Ordinances,
please contact Matt Earman or the City Manager directly.

Re: Greenway Corridor Pilot Program Update – Avery/Muirfield Screening
Summary
You will recall last year, City Council initiated the “Greenway Corridor Pilot Program” along the
Avery-Muirfield Drive corridor. As per the Indian Run Meadows Planned Unit Development
approved by City Council in 1978, the development text identifies this corridor as a prominent
“gateway” through the community and includes a roadway maintenance buffer requirement for
all associated property owners. The buffer extends nearly a mile, beginning just south of Valley
Stream Drive to the northern edge of Scottish Corners Park, on both sides of Muirfield Drive.
The landscape treatment is applicable to residential, institutional and commercial properties,
and includes landscaping standards for the Muirfield Drive median which is maintained by the
City.
Last fall, staff completed the planting of trees in the median which is now in compliance with
the treatment requirements. November through December of last year staff sent a series of
three letters to residents explaining the program and to seek their participation in establishing
landscape easements along the back edge of each property that will result in the transfer of
responsibility of the property owner over to the City. Each of these easements will be
approximately 25 feet from the sidewalk which includes a 10 feet utility easement. The balance
of area remaining will provide ample space to accommodate the number trees and ornamentals
consistent with the minimum requirements.
Of the 30 private properties subjected to the program, 23 affirmed they will participate, one
owner declined to participate, one owner is undecided and four were not responsive to the
letter. For those property owners who do not participate in this program, they will be required
to maintain their respective landscapes, and they will not be maintained by the City. If property
owners eventually decide to participate in the future, additional easements will be established
accordingly.
Going forward, staff will continue to reach out to those who were not responsive in an effort to
garner their participation. The process of preparing the easements for those participating in the
program are currently in progress. Once these are finalized, staff will bring them forward for
Council approval in hopes to have planting completed spring, or at the latest, fall of this year.
Recommendation

Earman or me directly.
