CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO

     Ordinance No. 2913

 VACATING AN ALLEYWAY BOUNDED BY COLLEGE PLACE AND 12TH STREET

 AND ELM AND TEXAS AVENUES - MESA STATE COLLEGE CAMPUS

Recitals.

 The existing "L"-shaped alley between approximately by Elm Avenue and Texas Avenue and 12th Street and College Place is entirely bounded by Mesa State College property. It is the last alley within the Mesa State College property holdings to be vacated. The College is proposing to construct a new dormitory in this area that would extend over the western portion of the alley. The alley currently accesses various campus facilities, some of which are to be demolished prior to the new construction.

 Existing utilities within the alley include overhead power, telephone and cable television lines and underground sanitary sewer and gas lines. With the exception of the sewer line which is within the north-south portion of the alley, the lines are to be relocated in preparation for the dormitory construction. The petitioner must provide relocation plans to the various utilities and provide easements for the relocated lines as requested. Rather than retain an easement for the sanitary sewer line, the College will accept maintenance responsibilities for this segment of the line.  

 The Grand Junction Planning Commission, at its April 9, 1996 hearing, recommended approval of the vacation of this alleyway.

 NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT THE RIGHT-OF-WAY DESCRIBED BELOW IS HEREBY VACATED:
