Analysis Leading to Staff Recommendation:
The applicant requests approval to vacate the two 5-foot wide permanent public utilities, drainage,
and irrigation (PUDI) easements located on the common lot line between Lots 4, and 5, Black 3 of
Sond Subdivision. The two lots have been combined into one property through a property boundary
adjusnnent and record of swvey. The applicant states there are no utilities within the PUDI
easements. Approval of the subject vacation will allow the applicant to construct a home over the
easement area.
All public utilities (Idaho Power, Cenhuy Link, Cable One, Intermountain Gas) along with the Sond
Subdivision HOA have given consent to relinquish their easements. NMID submitted a letter stating
they have no facilities within the easement area.
Staff recommends approval of vacating the easements as proposed in Exhibit A.2
