Due to this, a formal easement vacation does not have to be processed but instead a <br />driveway easement agreement (prepared by the City Attorney) needs to be signed between the owners of <br />the Mathews' property and the City that relinquishes the subject encumbrance and re-establishes <br />easements that will allow a joint access from Orono Road and an additional northerly access driveway. <br /> <br />Due to the aforementioned information no public hearing is necessary and the City Council does not <br />have to act on a formal easement vacation. <br /> <br />The Mayor is asked to open and close the public hearing. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />N/A <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />Action <br /> <br />Motion by _ <br /> <br />Second by _ <br /> <br />Vote <br /> <br />Follow Up <br /> <br />S:\pLANNING\Case Files\EV\EV 07-05 City ofER Matthews\Memo to close PH to 7-18-07.doc <br />
