Item
Report on Petition No. 4060 requesting vacation of the west 17.5 foot utility
easement of the vacated Michigan Avenue from Iron Avenue to Stapler Avenue.
Background
The petition was submitted on May 25, 1993 by Mr. Bill Medina and other property
owners in the Hansen Court Addition. This item was tabled at the June 21
meeting to allow the petitioner to negotiate further with KPL and Cable
Television in regard to utility poles. The purpose of the request is to allow
the construction of permanent buildings and other development of the existing
easement area.
The 35 feet of right-of-way for Michigan Avenue was dedicated in 1926 as part of
Block 2, Hansen Court Addition. The entire 35 feet of right-of-way was vacated
in 1961 with retention of a utility easement. In 1980 and 1982, two office
buildings were constructed on the east side of the vacated street right-of-way.
The franchise utility companies have reviewed the proposed vacation request.
The only apparent conflicts involve three KPL power poles and one Cable
Television pole located on approximately the centerline of the 35 foot easement.
All other utilities are private service lines located on the east 17.5' foot
easement. No City utilities exist in the vacated Michigan Avenue. The
recommendation from the City franchise utilities is to allow the vacation of the
west 15 feet of the existing easement. This would result in the retention of a
20-foot utillity easement in the vacated Michigan Avenue.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the ordinance allowing
vacation of the west 15 feet of the utility easement located on the west 17.5
feet of the vacated Michigan Avenue from the south line of Iron Avenue to the
north line of Stapler Avenue on the condition that KPL and Cable Television
.companies relocate the existing pole guy wires. The vacation will not take
effect until the wires are moved.
