Item 5:
Recommendation: VAC 05-005 Request for a Vacation of a portion of a
20-foot utility easement between Lots 20 & 21, Block 1, Stokesberry
Subdivision No.2 by Properties West, Inc. - west of North Eagle Road
and north of River Valley Street:
Zaremba: Next is another recommendation. This is VAC 05-005, request for a vacation
of a portion of a 20-foot utility easement that's between Lots 20 and 21, Block 1, of
Stokesberry Subdivision No.2 by Properties West, Inc., west of North Eagle Road and
north of River Valley Street and, again, this is not a Public Hearing, but we will begin
with staff comments.
Wilson: Thank you, Chairman Zaremba, Members of the Commission. The subject
vacation is in Stokesberry Subdivision No.2 and is zoned light office, located generally
on the west side of Eagle Road south of Ustick. The subject vacation is between Lots
20 and 21. The face of the plat did identify easements of -- they are ten feet on each
side of the lot line, utility easements, and also an irrigation easement to benefit the
business owners association. On this vacation we do have consent -- notarized
consent on record from all beneficiaries of the easements, except for the business
owners association and staff did include the condition in the report that notarized
consent of relinquishment of that easement should be received before the City Council
hearing. I do believe we have a slide here of the exact portion of the easement that is
being vacated. That would be the shaded area there between Lots 20 and 21. And
with that I'll end staff's comments.
Zaremba: Okay. Any questions? Commissioners?
Newton-Huckabay: I have none.

Zaremba: Does the applicant care to add anything? Okay.
Moe: I would -- question. Is there going to be any problem getting the business owners
association to relinquish? Just taking a little longer than you anticipated? Okay.
Zaremba: The applicant is shaking his head, indicating no. Okay. No problem I mean.
Okay. Gentlemen?
Moe: Mr. Chairman?
Zaremba: Commissioner Moe.
Moe: I move that we forward to City Council recommending approval of VAC 05-005,
with all staff comments of the hearing date May 5th, 2005, received by the city clerk's
office May 2nd, 2005.
Newton-Huckabay: Second.
Zaremba: We have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Anyopposed? That
motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Zaremba: We are now coming to items that are public hearings in this portion of our
meeting and I will discuss a little bit our procedure for anybody that doesn't attend these
meetings very often. Our professional staff and the applicant have, of course, spent a
great deal of time together on each of these applications, so we begin our presentation
with a presentation from our staff, indicating where the project is and what the project is
and any issues that remain to be resolved. We follow that with a presentation from the
applicant, who is free to respond to items the staff has brought up, make their own
points, tell us anything we need to know. The applicant and any supporting members,
like engineers, architects, et cetera, that join them have combined 15 minutes to make
their presentation. After that we take testimony from the general public and each
person has three minutes to speak and tell us how they feel about the project and things
they think we ought to know. Then, at the end of that period, the applicant will again
have another period of time, ten minutes, to respond to things that have been brought
up during the Public Hearing, anything that further needs to clarify us -- be clarified for
us. We do have a handy light system that we will keep you apprised of your time.
When the green is on you have plenty of time. When it goes to yellow you should begin
wrapping up, and when the red comes on that is the end of your allotted time and we
appreciate people sticking to that, so that our meetings don't go to 1 :00 o'clock in the
morning. We do ask everybody, so that we can hear you, it's important enough that you
came that we want to make sure that we hear you and that it gets on the record for our
recorder. So, please, only speak when you're at the microphone and when you begin
start with your name and address for the record, please.
