" ;)113 REQUEst FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 07-24-95 ITEM NO.: G-4 Department Approval: yrlD!R-:r, KS Item Description: Manager Reviewed: Agenda Section: Hearing McGough Construction Company's request for a vacation of road easement. Background 1. McGough Construction, Co. is located at 2737 N. Fairview Avenue, just north of County Road "C". At the north end of this property, there currently exists a twenty (20) foot sewer easement within a thirty-three (33) foot road easement that runspe~pendilbular to Fairview Avenue. Being that there will never be a road built in this location, McGough is requesting that the road easement be vacated by the City. If the road easement were to be vacated, this would give the McGough Construction Company another thirteen (13) feet to the north in which they could build. Being that the sewer easement would still exist, the applicant could not encroach onto this twenty foot right of way. 2. The engineering staff has reviewed this proposal for the vacation of right-of-way and has made one recommendation. This recommendation states that since the 33 foot road easement has a 20 foot sanitary sewer easement over the north 20 feet, this easement will not be vacated. Other than this point, the engineering department has no other concerns with this file. 3. At their July 12, 1995, meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of McGough Construction Company's request to vacate the 33 foot road easement at the north property line at 2737 N. Fairview Avenue. Staff Recommendations: 1. McGough Construction Company, on 2737 N. Fairview Avenue is requesting that a 33 foot road easement be vacated. This action would give McGough an extra 13 feet in which to build. This road easement will never be used in the future, thus giving the City no benefit in holding onto this extra 13 feet. With the understanding that the 20 foot sanitary sewer easement would still remain, it is staffs recommendation that the request for vacation of the road easement on 2737 N. Fairview Avenue be approved. Council Action Requested: 1. Motion to approve McGough Construction Company's request to vacate the 33 foot road ea~ement along the1r north property line at 2737 N. Fairview Avenue.
