Pipeline Removal and Easement Vacation for Subdivision Development

A recent meeting document Frederick - Planning Commission Agenda - 2026-06-04 indicates a future potential acquisition Certain lots within the Columbine Heights subdivision are impacted by the Western Midstream Gathering pipeline and associated easement. These lots will be excluded from the first final plat filing until the pipeline is removed and the easement vacated. When the impacted lots are platted as Columbine Heights Filing No. 2, the recording number for the easement vacation will need to be referenced on the final plat. Contractors specializing in pipeline removal, environmental remediation, and legal services for easement vacation may find opportunities as the subdivision progresses. This is a prerequisite for full build-out of the subdivision and will require coordination with pipeline owners and regulatory agencies.
