 Resolution No. 25-99

VACATING A TEMPORARY TURNAROUND, DRAINAGE AND UTILTIY EASEMENT IN WESTWOOD RANCH SUBDIVISION FILING ONE LOCATED AT THE

NORTHWEST CORNER OF F ½ ROAD AND 25 ½ ROAD

Recitals.

 In conjunction with a final plat approved by the Planning Commission, Sonshine Construction LLC has requested to vacate a 47 foot radius temporary turnaround and a temporary drainage and utility easement that was dedicated on Westwood Ranch Subdivision Filing No. One. The temporary easements were dedicated on the plat to serve temporary functions until such time as Filing Two is recorded, which negates the need for these easements. The easements to be vacated are replaced with a loop road consisting of Longhorn Street and Shetland Drive, which will function as a through street for traffic and a utility and drainage corridor.

 At its February 9, 1999 hearing the Planning Commission found that the easement vacation conforms with the criteria in Section 8-3 of the Zoning and Development Code and recommended approval of this request.

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