Background: In April of 2025, Midway Glades Developers, LLC (“Developer”), conveyed the property that will be subject to the drainage easement to the City. Prior to the conveyance of the property to the City, the Developer was suppose to convey this drainage easement to the CDD. The drainage easement agreement, however, was inadvertently recorded after the deed conveying the property to the City. Therefore, the Developer requested that the City convey the drainage easement to the CDD.
