ORDINANCE NO. 4104
AN ORDINANCE VACATING RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR HILLTOP COURT
LOCATED BETWEEN 2397 AND 2399 MARIPOSA DRIVE
RECITALS:
Two property owners adjacent to Hilltop Court are requesting the vacation of undeveloped Right-of-Way adjacent to their properties. The proposed vacations are being requested to allow the property owners to erect fences, complete driveway and landscaping of yards, etc. for their properties located at 2397 and 2399 Mariposa Drive. The Right-of-Way currently runs between the two residential properties with no existing road improvements.
For that area being vacated, a multi-purpose easement is being retained. This easement is needed for all existing utilities and future utilities that may be located there.
The City Council finds that the property owner’s requests are consistent with the Growth Plan Future Land Use Plan and the Grand Valley Circulation Plan. The application also meets the criteria of section 2.11 of the Zoning and Development Code.
The Planning Commission, having heard and considered the request, found the criteria of the Code to have been met, and recommends that the vacation be approved.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT:
The following described dedicated right-of-way for Hilltop Court is hereby vacated subject to the listed conditions:
