SUBJECT


Partial Sewer Easement Vacation - Park Meadow Subdivision
Key Points
  • Partial vacation of sanitary sewer easement recorded under Auditor’s File Number G743276 will release approximately 2,717 square feet of encumbered private property.
  • Staff is recommending the collection of no compensation for the vacated area.

Strategic Plan Alignment
Safe and Prepared Community – a safe place to live, work, learn, and play.
Present Situation

The existing sewer easement comprises a strip of land 35 feet in width immediately to the west of the previous public right of way for NE 56th Avenue in unincorporated Clark County. The dedication of additional public right of way as part of the plat for the Park Meadow subdivision has eliminated the need for a separate easement within the limits of the plat. Staff has determined that the portion of the existing easement within the plat that lies outside of the new right-of-way dedication will not be needed for maintenance of existing or proposed public sewer facilities. The partial vacation of the easement will therefore unencumber approximately the east 16 feet of lots 20 and 21 as shown on the plat. The remaining easement south of the Park Meadow plat will remain in place.


Advantage(s)
Releasing excess easement area reduces encumbrance on the two lots.
Disadvantage(s)
None
Budget Impact
None
Prior Council Review
None
Action Requested

Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to sign the attached easement release.
