In doing so, the old street right-of-way needs to <br />be vacated as new right-of-way is being dedicated under the plat of The Crossroads 2nd Addition. <br />In addition, the drainage and utility easements that were granted under the original Crossroads <br />Addition plat need to be vacated in order not to encumber the property specifically, that of <br />Saxon Motors. New drainage and utility easements are being dedicated on the plat of The <br />Crossroads 2nd Addition adjacent to the Zane Avenue right-of-way and on the resulting lots. <br /> <br />The drainage and utility and street right-of-way easements are no longer needed and there is no <br />adverse impact in vacating these easements. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance, vacating Yale Street and <br />the drainage and utility easements within The Crossroads Addition. <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\Case Files\EV 02-06 The Crossroads 2nd\9-16 CC memo.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
