Recitals:
A request to vacate the right-of-way located at 1531, 1559 and 1561 High Street adjacent to Highway 50 has been submitted by the City of Grand Junction. The City will reserve a 20’ wide sanitary sewer easement on, along, over, under, through and across the subject property for the construction of a gravity sanitary sewer line.
