IV. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
Per UDC Table 11-5A-2, vacation of the private road requires approval from City Council at a public
meeting; vacation of public utility easements requires approval from City Council at a public hearing
when a new or amended plat isn’t proposed to be recorded to vacate the easements.
V. STAFF ANALYSIS
The Applicant proposes to vacate the remainder of the private road (ingress/egress easement) and
public utility easements for S. Black Marlin Lane and a portion of W. King Salmon Lane on Lots 10-
18, Block 1 of Interstate Center Subdivision (see Section VI.A below). Interstate Center Subdivision
was originally platted to be a business park with individual lots having access served by a private loop
road. Since then, the subdivision has been developed into a single recreation facility
(Wahooz/Roaring Springs). In 2006 the Owner recorded a document that eliminated the need for S.
Black Marlin Lane and W. King Salmon Lane (Inst. #107006039), however, the City’s process was
not completed to formally vacate the private road and applicable utility easements. In 2021, the
applicant approached the City about his future expansion plans to the Roaring Springs Water Park
which included new pools/attractions, site work, operations building, mechanical building, additional
cabanas, food/beverage building, and a new parking lot Upon further review, it was determined this
roadway and utility easements needed to be vacated to allow the expansion, and the project was
conditioned to complete this process prior to occupancy of the first certificate of occupancy.
A legal description and exhibit map of the private road proposed to be vacated is included in Section
VI.B below. The public utility easements proposed to be vacated are depicted in the exhibit in Section
VI.C below.
Relinquishment letters were received from Cableone, Idaho Power, Intermountain Gas Company,
Lumen, and NMID for the easements proposed to be vacated. The proposed vacation will not impact
City utilities as this property was previously located and developed in Ada County.
VI. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends approval of the vacation of the private road and public utility easements as
proposed by the Applicant.
