COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT VACATION — 1404 BOSTON
AVENUE (PIZZA RANCH)
BACKGROUND:
As part of the development review process, staff received a request from the developer
of the property (building expansion) at 1404 Boston Avenue (Pizza Ranch) to vacate
an existing public utility easement. The new building addition will be in conflict with the
existing easement that runs along the north property line.
Public Works staff contacted all registered right-of-way users to determine the extent of
existing utilities in the immediate area as well as future plans in the area. Responses
from right-of-way users indicate that there are no current utilities in the easement area
and no future plans to utilize the easement area. Mediacom has a service line in the
easement that only serves Pizza Ranch, which will be relocated as part of their building
expansion project. A map of the area is shown in Attachment A.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Set a date of public hearing for August 8, 2017, to approve vacation of the
public utility easement at 1404 Boston Avenue.
2. Do not set the date of public hearing to vacate the existing easement.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By setting the date of hearing, this will be the first step toward completion of this process
and will allow the proposed development on this site to continue to move forward.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1 as stated above.
