CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO

 

Ordinance No. 3067

 

VACATING WEST 1 FOOT OF MALDONADO STREET

NORTH OF WEST GUNNISON AVENUE

AND AN UTILITY EASEMENT

 

Recitals:

 

 This ordinance vacates 1 foot of right-of-way along the west side of Maldonado Street north of West Gunnison Avenue and an utility easement. The vacation is necessary to legitimize the existing 22 unit storage building which was built 6 inches into the right-of-way and into the utility easement to be vacated. The street is improved with curb, gutter, and sidewalk and will not likely need widening. The building lies 36 inches behind the sidewalk and will not create a problem for the public safety. The easement contains no utility lines and the utility providers have indicated the easement is not needed.

 

 The Planning Commission, having heard and considered the request and found the criteria of the Code to have been met, recommends that the vacation be approved.

 

 NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT:
