CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION
Resolution No. 33-00
VACATING AN INGRESS-EGRESS EASEMENT
WITHIN HILLTOP SUBDIVISION NO 2 LOCATED AT
THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF 15TH 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 44’ x 40’ ingress-egress easement between the common boundary of lots 3 and 4 along Patterson Road is proposed for vacation. The purpose of the easement was to provide shared access from one curb cut on Patterson Road. With the replat the shared access is no longer needed. Also the City’s Transportation Engineering Design Standards manual prohibits a driveway at this location due to spacing concerns from 15th Street.
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:
City Council finds that the vacation meets the criteria set forth in Section 8-3 of the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code and in accordance therewith the following described easements are hereby vacated:
