Title

Public Hearing - Abandonment of Easement - Appeal of Hearing Officer Decision- V170048A - 41 E. Jefferson St.

 

Description

Request to hold a public hearing on the Abandonment of Easement - V170048A located at 41 E. Jefferson St. due to an appeal letter dated Sept. 25, 2017. The alley was abandoned without stipulations in a prior abandonment action and only a public utility easement remains in place today. The property owner requested the abandonment to allow for future redevelopment of the commercial parking lot into a new development. The appellant is concerned that the adjoining owner recently filed the subject abandonment application to abandon the 25-foot wide Public Utility Easement, this PUE abandonment was formerly located within that portion of the alleyway that was abandoned by the adjoining owner, and retained by Resolution 19322. The appellant is requesting the abandonment be denied based on 1) the development of the adjoining property, 2) relocation of the PUE, and 3) size of the New (Conditional PUE).
