The easement <br />requested to be vacated protects an overhead electric line owned by Connexus Energy. The overhead line will be <br />relocated as part of the Broadway on 10 project and Connexus and the applicant have been discussing the <br />relocation. <br /> <br />Connexus and the applicant will need to provide documentation of the approved relocation for the overhead <br />powerline prior to releasing the resolution and final plat for recording. Upon approval of the overhead powerline <br />relocation by Connexus Energy, vacation of the easement will be in the public’s benefit. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br /> Growth and development of residential properties. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Location Map <br /> Vacation Exhibit <br /> Resolution
