Roberts Annexation Easement Vacation
LOCATION: 1630 E. Paradise Ln
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Request to vacate a 5-foot drainage, utility construction and maintenance easement platted between
two lots (Lots 2&3, Block 1 of the Heritage Subdivision No 2).
II. APPLICANT INFORMATION
A. Applicant / Representative:
Benjamin Semple, Rodney Evans and Partners – 1014 S. La Pointe St., Ste 3, Boise ID 83706
B. Owner:
Denton Roberts – 4461 N. Diamond Creek Ave, Meridian, ID, 83646
III. STAFF ANALYSIS
On May 18, 2021 the City Council approved an annexation and zoning to R-2 on the subject property
to allow the applicant to construct a new home. The property is presently comprised of two lots, and
the proposed house would straddle the internal lot lines. As part of this construction, the applicant
intends to merge the two lots together. However, there is a 5-foot drainage, utility construction and
maintenance easement platted between the subject lots (Lots 2 & 3, Block 1 of the Heritage
Subdivision No 2). A vacation of this easement was required as a condition of approval of the
annexation. This vacation and a parcel boundary adjustment (PBA) to merge the lots is required
before the applicant can proceed with applying for a building permit.
