Title
Update: Administrative Easement Grant and Right-of-Way and Easement Abandonments
Body
______________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
This update is provided to Town Council to summarize the right-of-way abandonments, easement abandonments and easement grants processed administratively by Town staff from September 2019 thru July 2020. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 2018-008 adopted on April 17, 2018, 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. In addition, pursuant the same Ordinance No. 2018-008, 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.
