Background/Discussion The property owner, Pipe Portfolio, at 1340 6"' Street is requesting to vacate existing street right-of-way easements located on the property. The property is the former Cretex plant north of Highway 10. The plant was expanded a number of times, and as a result includes a number of street right-of-way easements. The physical streets were removed as the plant expanded, and the rights-of-way no longer serve a public access purpose. The city and other agencies have a number of public utilities beneath the property. Some of which are below the existing easements, and some which are protected by utility easements. ERMU staff requires that all public utilities are accessible via an easement (right-of-way or utility). As a condition of approval, staff included a requirement to prepare a survey identifying the public services, and preparation of a new document establishing a 20 foot utility easement for all public utilities. The proposal includes vacation of easements where structures have been constructed over existing utilities, and within existing easements. Vacation of the requested easements does not remove the city's ability to maintain the existing infrastructure, and new easements are required for the entire length of all public utilities. This will include easements over land occupied by existing structures. P a w E R E U 6 Y NaA f RE]
