RESOLUTION NO. 106-06

 

A RESOLUTION VACATING A UTILITY EASEMENT WITHIN THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 3028 AND 3032 D-1/2 ROAD ALSO KNOWN AS THE PRAIRIE VIEW SOUTH SUBDIVISION

 

Recitals

 

A request for the vacation of a utility easement has been submitted in accordance with the Zoning and Development Code. The applicant has requested that the existing the 20-foot sewer easement along the northern boundary of the site be vacated as it encroaches on several proposed lots. There are no existing utility lines in the easement and new utilities for the new subdivision will be constructed in the multipurpose easements and rights-of-way for the new streets. The existing 20-foot utility easement was originally dedicated via an earlier plat recorded at Plat Book 13 Page 524 in the records of the Mesa County Clerk and Recorder. The vacation request is required to proceed with completion of the Prairie View South Subdivision.

 

The Grand Junction Planning Commission, at its hearing on August 22, 2006 reviewed the vacation request and determined that it satisfied the criteria as set forth and established in Section 2.11 of the Zoning and Development Code. The proposed vacation is also consistent with the purpose and intent of the Growth Plan.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT THE UTILITY EASEMENT AREA DESCRIBED BELOW IS HEREBY VACATED.
