ORDINANCE NO. 3928
AN ORDINANCE VACATING RIGHTS-OF-WAY FOR PORTIONS OF HOESCH STREET AND WEST GRAND AVENUE
RECITALS:
A vacation of the dedicated right-of-way for a portion of Hoesch Street and West Grand Avenue has been requested by the City of Grand Junction.
WDD Properties, LLLP, ("WDD") is the owner of some of the land to which the vacated right-of-way will revert. WDD has an application before the City to do a subdivision which will include the vacated right-of-way. The subdivision plat will also include a dedication of right-of-way from WDD to the City for the Riverside Parkway. The vacation of the right-of-way shall be conditioned upon a subdivision plat being recorded granting the right-of-way required for Riverside Parkway from the land owned by WDD with City approval.
Hoesch Street was originally dedicated as a public street in 1894 as a part of The Grand River Subdivision with a total of 18’. An additional 10’ was dedicated in 1980 as a part of the West Grand Subdivision. While the right-of-way width is now at 28’ it does not meet the 44’ minimum required for a commercial street. The street has approximately 23’ of pavement; minimum requirement for an alley is 20’. The street functions more like an alley rather than a street for purposes of circulation (trash truck traffic, rear yard access). It has been determined by the Public Works Department that this section of right-of-way is not needed as a full street and can adequately function as an alley.
The Planning Commission, having heard and considered the request, found the criteria of the Code to have been met, and recommends that the vacation.
The City Council finds that the request is consistent with the Growth Plan, the Grand Valley Circulation Plan and Section 2.11 of the Zoning and Development Code.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT:
The following described dedicated right-of-way is hereby vacated upon the recording of a plat dedicating the right-of-way determined necessary by staff for the Riverside Parkway:
