8. STAFF ANALYSIS
The applicant requests approval to vacate the two (2) 5 -foot wide permanent public utilities, drainage,
and irrigation (PUDI) easements located on the common lot line between Lots 27 and 28, Block 6 of
Reflection Ridge Subdivision No. 1.
The reason for the request is that a home was constructed on Lot 27 that encroaches within the side
easement area. In order to remedy this, the PUDI easements located along the common lot line
between Lots 27 and 28 needs to be vacated, a property boundary adjustment approved to shift the lot
line over and a record of survey recorded with newly adjusted property lines and PUDI easements.
The applicant has submitted letters from all applicable public utilities (i.e. Idaho Power, Century
Link, Cable One, Intermountain Gas, and Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District) consenting to the
proposed relinquishment of easements.
Because none of the applicable utility providers object to the proposed vacation, Staff recommends
approval of the vacation application as proposed in Exhibit A.2 with subsequent submittal and
approval of a property boundary adjustment application and dedication of new easements through a
recorded record of survey.
