We have reviewed this submittal and offer the foddowing comments, as conditions of the Applicant. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: APPLICATION SUMMARY The Applicant, Packard Estates Development, request the City's concern to vacate the existing ten (10) foot utilities, drainage and irrigation easement that lies oa We interior lot line between Lots 22 and 23, Block 2 of Packard Acres No. 2. This is the standazd easement, five (5) feet on either side of an interior lot line, which is created via recorded final plats. The easement is no longer needed in this location as it is no longer adjacent to a platted lot line. It now runs through the middle of Lot 23, Block 2 and must be vacated before any building permits can be issued for this lot. The Public Works Department has confirmed that there are no existing utilities within the subject easement to be vacated. The subject lots are in the northeast comer of the subdivision and were both affected by a Lot Line Adjustment (LLA) that was signed by the City Engineer in May 2004 and recorded as Instrument No. 104067468 on May 18, 2004. The purpose of the LLA was to create two lots which the developer believed were more balanced in area and size and, therefore, more marketable. The Record of Survey also slightly adjusted the lot line between Lots 23 and 24, Block 2. City Ordinance 12-10-2 requires that "any property owner desiring to vacate an existing...easement shall complete and file an application [for vacation]." Staff is recommending approval of the proposed vacation, with the comments listed below.
