SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 063, 2006, Vacating a Portion of Right-of-way as Dedicated At
Book 1174, Page 543 of the Larimer County Records.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance on First Reading.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 1962, a 25 foot-wide strip of land south of Plum Street, between Shields Street and City Park
Avenue, was dedicated to the City (Book 1174, Page 543) for street right-of-way purposes. The
owners of the properties at 813 Scott Street, 809 Scott Street and 1201 West Plum Street have
requested the City vacate this 25 foot by 349.70 foot strip of land that is adjacent to and on the
west side of their properties. The applicants have requested this vacation because they wish to
upgrade, renovate or redevelop their properties and feel this land is needed in order to do so.
This area of land is not paved and is not used for access or as a driveway to the properties, nor is
it planned as use for public access. It does contain several utilities within the area. The
applicants have been notified and are aware the City does not determine who will get the vacated
property and that ownership of the vacated property is determined in accordance with state
statutes.
All public and private utilities have been notified of the proposed vacation and no objections
have been stated, provided the area is retained as a utility easement. The entire area proposed to
be vacated will be retained as a utility easement.
