Body
______________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
This update is being provided to Town Council to summarize the easement abandonment, right-of-way vacation and easement grant processed administratively by Town staff during the previous quarter. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 2013-06 adopted on February 19, 2013 and Ordinance No. 2015-06 adopted on February 17, 2015, utility easement abandonments and unimproved street right-of-way vacations may be approved by Town staff in conjunction with subdivision approval. These abandonments and vacations are typically approved on the face of plats such as the ones listed in this memorandum. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 2016-007 adopted on March 15, 2016, easements may be granted administratively by Town staff via an easement agreement (like the one listed in this memorandum) executed by the Town Manager and Town Attorney, provided that the Town receives only nominal consideration for such grant.
Staff will update this report when new abandonments and right-of-way vacations are approved, as Town Council requested.
