Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
This update is being provided to Town Council to summarize the right-of-way abandonments, easement abandonments and easement grants 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, unimproved street right-of-way abandonments and utility easement abandonments may be approved by Town staff in conjunction with subdivision approval. These abandonments 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 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 easement grants and right-of-way and easement abandonments are approved, as Town Council requested
