Title
Resolution No. 15-23, Initiating the Vacation of a Portion of the 5-Foot Wide Northwesterly Side Yard and the 10-Foot Rear Yard Public Utility Easements Reducing to 3-Feet Each on Lot 7 of the Ainsworth Estates No. 2 Plat (12412 Cominger Dr)
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Authorize the Mayor and the City Recorder to execute Resolution No. 15-23, calling for the vacation of a portion of the public utility easements on Lot 7 of the plat of the Ainsworth Estates No. 2.
BACKGROUND:
Ainsworth Estates No. 2 was platted and recorded in 1990. As has been standard practice, public utility easements were recorded around the perimeter of all the tax lots in the subdivision in the event utility installation was required during build-out of the subdivision. The subdivision and area is now fully developed and the public utility easements are not occupied by any utility company.
The property owner of 12412 Cominger Drive (3-2E-07AB-00700) applied for building permit number 15-0195 to build an accessory building unit on the rear corner of their property and when Public Works Engineering was contacted for comments, it was determined that a 10-foot utility easement existed on the rear lot line and a 5-foot utility easement existed on the northwest side lot line, both of which interfered with the applicant's building plans.
The applicant subsequently submitted and paid for an application to have the easements vacated. Registered utility companies in the area were contacted to ascertain whether there were any objections to vacating both the rear and northwest sideyard easements and hearing none, it was agreed that both easements could be reduced to 3-foot in width thereby allowing the property owner to build while maintaining a small public utility easement in the unlikely event one is needed in the future.
