CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO

 Ordinance No. 2729

 VACATING A PORTION OF THE G ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY

 CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION

Recitals.

 G Road, as platted, dead ends at the Government Highline Canal on the east. Presently, it is only developed (paved) to Putter Drive. City staff feels that G Road will never be a throughway to the east due to the existing obstacles of the canal and Interstate 70.

 The vacation of this portion of G Road will not affect the existing 45-foot electric utility easement for Grand Valley Rural Power nor the 25-foot irrigation easement for the Crown Heights Homeowners Association and the Apple Crest Irrigation Company.

 The Grand Junction Planning Commission, at their January 4, 1994 hearing recommended approval of the vacation provided that an east-west easement was dedicated through the property for the potential future use of Public Service and/or other utilities.

 The City Council has duly considered the matter and the recommendation of the Planning Commission and finds that the requirements for vacation of a right-of way, as set forth in section 8-3 of the Zoning and Development Code, have been satisfied.

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION:

That the right-of-way described below is hereby vacated:

That portion of Mesa County Road "G", as recorded in Mesa County Records in Book 714 at Page 521, lying in the SE 1/4 SE 1/4 of Section 36, Township 1 North, Range 1 West of the Ute Meridian, said road being thirty feet right and thirty feet left of the following described centerline, the sidelines of which extending or terminating at the property lines:
