COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT VACATION — 4540 MORTENSEN ROAD
BACKGROUND:
The law firm representing the property owner at 4540 Mortensen Road has made a
request to vacate the public utility easement currently running through the existing lot
shown on Attachment A. The vacation is requested in order for the property owner to
move forward with the process to develop the site.
Public Works staff received responses from all registered right-of-way users as to the
extent of utilities in this immediate area, including any intention to utilize the existing
easement. All have responded that they do not have facilities in the existing easement,
and will place any needed future utilities within the new easements. These new
easements, if necessary, will be defined during the site plan review process.
ALTERNATIVES:
1 . Set August 12, 2014, as the date of public hearing for the proposed vacation of
the existing public utility easement at 4540 Mortensen Road.
2. Direct staff to pursue other options.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By moving forward with the process to approve the vacation of the easement, Council
will meet this property owner's need to move forward with development of their existing
site. The property owner will provide any new easements that better fit the site at no
charge to the City, should they be determined to be necessary during the City's site plan
approval process.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1 , thereby setting August 12, 2014, as the date of public hearing for the
proposed vacation of the existing public utility easement at 4540 Mortensen Road.
