CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION
Ordinance No. 3384
VACATING A PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY AND RECREATIONAL EASEMENT
LOCATED ON REDLANDS MARKETPLACE SUBDIVISION
AT HIGHWAY 340 (BROADWAY) AND POWER ROAD
Recitals.
The applicant has requested to vacate a 12-foot wide public right-of-way and recreational easement for the riverfront trail that was dedicated on the Redlands Marketplace final plat. When the riverfront trail in the southwest corner of this shopping center was reconstructed, it was placed in the wrong location, outside of the easement that was dedicated on the plat. Rather than remove and replace the trail it was decided to leave it in its current location, vacate the existing easement and rededicate a new one. Approval of this vacation will eliminate the easement where it exists now. A new easement will be dedicated concurrently with this vacation so the public interest will be protected.
At its September 11, 2001 hearing the City Planning Commission found that the request to vacate the right-of-way conforms to the review criteria set forth in Section 2.11C and recommended approval of the vacation.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO:
City Council finds that the vacation meets the criteria set forth in Section 2-11C of the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code and in accordance therewith the following described right-of-way is hereby vacated with the condition that the vacation shall not become effective until a new right-of-way dedicated by separate instrument is recorded:
