DATE:10-28-25
DEPT:PW
SUBJECT:EASEMENT VACATION AT 1411 S GRAND AVE
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
BACKGROUND:
During approval of the final plat for Grand Aspen 3rd Subdivision in 2009, an electrical
easement was established at 1411 S. Grand Avenue for an electric service line.
In 2012, a new electrical easement was created at 1411 S. Grand Avenue and the electrical
service line was relocated to this new easement. This change was made to accommodate a
change in the building location on the site. During the creation and recording of this new
electrical easement, the original easement from 2009 was intended to be vacated once
the service line was relocated.
The purpose of this Council action is to complete the vacation of the 2009 easement. No
electric service is located within the easement area.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Set November 18, 2025, as the date of public hearing for vacation of the electrical
easement.
2. Direct staff to make further changes to the easement area.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The easement to be vacated does not follow the current alignment of the electrical line
on the property. The electrical line was relocated on the property, and a new easement
was created for the relocated line. The easement to be vacated contains no electric
utility. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative No. 1, as described above.
