RECOMMENDATION:
1 Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This Ordinance vacates a portion of the street right-of-way for Mitchell Drive. The site was
originally platted as part of Lots 1 and 2 of Observatory Heights. Right-of-way was dedicated for
future expansion along Mitchell Drive at the intersection of East Horsetooth Road to include both
. a left-turn lane and a right-turn lane. Because of the construction of the landscaped median along
East Horsetooth Road, a left-turn lane is no longer needed. Therefore,not all of the street right-of-
way that was originally dedicated with the Observatory Heights plat is needed. Hence,a portion of
the right-of-way is being proposed for vacation with the Palmer Design Center development. As
there are currently utilities in place that cross this area,the street right-of-way will be retained as a
utility easement.
