VACATING A PORTION

ADJACENT TO GARRETT ESTATES SUBDIVISION

Recitals.

 The developer of Garrett Estates Subdivision is requesting that 10-feet of 25 Road and 3-feet of F ½ Road adjacent to the approved subdivision be vacated. Garrett Estates is a 55 lot single family development on approximately 12.16 acres at the northeast corner of 25 Road and F ½ Road. Currently 25 Road has 40 feet of right-of-way on the east side and F ½ Road has 33-feet on the north side. The Major Street Plan designates both streets as Major Collectors, requiring 30-foot half streets. The applicant will be improving both streets as part of final plat approval. The excess right-of-way, if not vacated, must be landscaped and maintained by the homeowner’s association. The applicant requests vacation to increase lot sizes and eliminate unnecessary maintenance by the homeowner’s association.

 At its September 12, 2000 hearing the Planning Commission found that the right-of-way vacation conforms with the approval criteria in Section 2.11C of the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code with the condition that the vacating ordinance will not become effective until the plat for Garrett Estates has been recorded. The specific findings are found in the staff report in File #FP-2000-128.
