Resolution No. 32-00

VACATING A MULTI-PURPOSE, IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE EASEMENT

WITHIN HILLTOP SUBDIVISION NO 2 LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST

CORNER OF 15^TH STREET AND PATTERSON ROAD

Recitals.

 The owner of Larchwood Inns Nursing home, located on Lot 2, Hilltop Subdivision No. 2, has acquired lots 3 and 4 of the same subdivision, located along Patterson Road and plans on expanding the facility. To allow for the expansion the three lots are being replatted into one and a 20-foot wide multi-purpose, irrigation and drainage easement located along the northern portion of lots 3 and 4 must be vacated. The purpose of the easements are to provide interconnectivity across private lots for utilities, drainage and irrigation. Since the lots will now be owned in common the easements are no longer necessary. There are no public facilities located in the easements to be vacated

 At its March 14, 2000 hearing the Planning Commission found that the easement vacation conforms to the criteria in Section 8-3 in the Zoning and Development Code and recommends approval of the vacation. Community Development File #FPP-2000-023 outlines the specific findings of the Commission.

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