The requested utility easement vacation will allow construction of a covered drop off canopy on

Section 2. Findings and Conclusions. That the governing body determines from the evidence
presented:
(A) Due and legal notice has been given by publication as required by law.
(B) The public will suffer no loss or inconvenience by the vacation of the utility easement
location because the easement formerly contained a public water main and fire hydrant and the
fire hydrant has been relocated and the water main is no longer in use. No other public or
franchise utilities are located in the twenty foot (20') easement.
(C) No private rights will be injured or endangered because the relocated fire hydrant provides
adequate protection to the church's building addition.
(D) That injustice to the Petitioner vacation of the utility easement should be granted because
the continued presence of a public utility easement no longer serves a public purpose due to the
relocation of the fire hydrant.
(E) The public interest is promoted by the vacation of the public utility easement because it
would allow the petitioner to construct a weather protected drop off area for members of and
visitors to the church building.
