Recitals

 The restrictions/covenants for Blocks 1 and 3, and Lots 1 through 11 in Block 2, Melrose Subdivision were recorded October 22, 1956. The restrictions limit uses to detached single-family residential only. The City of Grand Junction has owned and operated a public park on lots 1-7 inclusive and Lots 9-15 inclusive, Block 1 for many years. In addition, a large home built years ago on Lot 8, Block 1 (2507 Orchard Ave.) was, at some point, converted to a four-plex and was recently remodeled into a duplex. As a property owner in the Subdivision, the City is being asked to sign a "Consent to Vary Covenants".

 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO:

 That the City Manager, on behalf of the City, is hereby authorized to sign the "Consent to Vary Covenants for Blocks 1 and 3 and Lots 1-11 of Block 2 Melrose Subdivision, City of Grand Junction, Colorado" to allow for the continuation of the duplex at 2507 Orchard Avenue and Melrose Park.
