CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO

 Ordinance No. 3015

 VACATING A PORTION OF THE DARREN WAY RIGHT-OF-WAY

Recitals.

 The applicant is proposing to subdivide a vacant 3.1-acre area of land into 11 single family parcels. The proposal will be filing 3 of the Del-Mar subdivision which is located at F-1/4 Road and 29-3/8 Road. The primary access ways to this filing are an existing stub street at Darren Way and an extension of 29-3/8 Road to the north. A cul-de-sac was platted as part of the right-of-way at the end of Darren Way in Del-Mar filing 1. The portions of the cul-de-sac that will no longer be needed with the completion of Darren Way must be vacated as a concurrent process with the subdivision. If not vacated, these portions of right-of-way would be an encumbrance on the adjacent parcels to be created within filing 3 of the Del-Mar subdivision.  The Grand Junction Planning Commission, at its June 3, 1997 hearing, recommended approval of this right-of-way vacation.

 NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT THE STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR A PORTION OF DARREN WAY AS DESCRIBED BELOW IS HEREBY VACATED:
