SUBJECT:

. V AC-07-008
Request for Vacation of the City of Meridian Utility Easement for Lots
1, 2, & 3, Block 1, Fallon Greens Subdivision, by Tealey's Land
Surveying
1. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANT'S REQUEST
The Applicant, Tealey's Land Surveying, requests the vacation of the City of Meridian utility
easement common to Lots 1,2, & 3, Block 1, Fallon Greens Subdivision. The subject easements
were created in 2003 with the recordation of the Fallon Greens Subdivision, Recorders Number
Book 86, Page 9780.
The Fallon Greens Subdivision is located on the west side of Eagle Road and north of Interstate
84 at 875 South Allen Street in Section 17, Township 3 North, Range 1 East, B.M. Lot 1 of the
subject site houses the Hampton Inn and Suites hotel. Lots 2 & 3, Block 1, are currently vacant.
With the recordation of Fallon Greens Subdivision, a 20-foot wide (10 feet on either side of a lot
line) City of Meridian utility easement was created common to Lots 1 & 2 and Lots 1 & 3, Block
1. Additionally, a IO-foot wide private irrigation easement was depicted on Lots 1 & 2, Block 1.
The Applicant believes that the subject vacation will better facilitate development of the subject
lot, as the intent is to construct an addition to the existing hotel building on Lots 1 & 2 which
will span across the platted easements. New easements are to be dedicated and will run within
the parking lot around the proposed hotel addition.
The Unified Development Code 11-5A-I, requires the City Council to be the decision making
body on vacations applied for in the City of Meridian. Idaho Code 50-1325 requires that all
easements created on subdivision plats "shall be vacated in the same manner as streets" and must
be approved by the local jurisdictions. Even though some types of easements can be addressed
through letters of agreement / relinquishment (i.e. drainage, etc.), the landscape, maintenance,
and irrigation easements are not specifically exempt under I.C. 50-1306A, and must be formally
vacated through the City's process.
2. STAFF'S ANALYSIS
Hampton Inn & Suites - V AC-07-008
PAGE 1
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEP ARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JULY 24, 2007
The Meridian Public Works Department has no opposition to the proposed vacation.
However, Public Works and Planning Staff requires the following conditions must be
completed before the relinquishment of the current easements: 1) Approval of the
construction drawings for the installation of new utilities by the Public Works Department;
and 2) Recording of the new easements.
As the utility easement was dedicated solely for the benefit of the City, the Applicant was not
required to obtain proof of relinquishment of the easement by Cable One, Qwest
Communications, Intermountain Gas Company, and Idaho Power Company. The N amp a &
Meridian Irrigation District claims they do not have interest in the private irrigation easement
and, therefore, will not be impacted by the vacation.
3. PROPOSED MOTION
Approval
I move to approve File Number V AC-07 -008, as presented in the staff report for the hearing
date of July 24, 2007, and direct Planning Staff to prepare findings for approval based on
tonight's hearing, with the following changes: (insert any changes here)
Denial
I move to deny File Number V AC-07-008, as presented during the hearing on July 24,2007,
for the following reasons: (You should state specific reasons for denial. They should address
how the Applicant might redo the application to gain your recommendation for approval.)
Continue
I move to continue the public hearing for File Number V AC-07-008 to the hearing date of
(insert continued hearing date here) for the following reason(s): (you should state specific
reason( s) for continuance)
4. RECOMMENDATION
The Applicant has met all of Staff's requirements outlined in Section 2 of the staff report.
Therefore, Staff recommends approval of application V AC-07-008 to vacate the platted
City of Meridian utilities easement and private irrigation easement for Lots 1, 2, & 3, Block
1, Fallon Greens Subdivision, as presented during the hearing on July 24, 2007.
