Mr. Supinger stated that Block 78, Sheridan Heights Subdivision 1

was subdivided in the late 1800's; however, the alley has never
been used.

Mr. Tanguma entered and took his chair with the Commission.
Mr. Supinger stated that there is a "traveled way" through the
block which does not coincide with the location of the platted
alley, but is, in fact, some 12 feet north of the alley as was
platted. A sewer line was installed several years ago, and it
lies approximately four feet north of the platted alley. The
City Utilities Department feels that a 16 foot easement is
necessary to ensure access for maintenance of the sewer line.
The staff suggests therefore, that the alley be vacated, that
an easement be retained across the north eight (8), feet of the
platted alley, and that an additional eight (8) foot easement
be obtained immediately to the north of the retained easement.
Mr. Weist entered and took his chair with the Commission.
Mr. Martin asked if there were any questions on the matter?
Mr. Jorgenson moved:
Mr. Anderson seconded : The Planning Commission recanmend to
City Council that the platted alley in
Block 78, Sheridan Heights Subdivision, Arapahoe County, Colorado,
be vacated; that there be a utility easement retained across
the north eight (8) feet of the platted alley, and an additional
eight (8) foot easement be obtained adjoining and north of the
retained easement.
Discussion followed. Mr. Supinger stated that it would not be
appropriate to condition the vacation of right-of -way; this
action is based on whether or not the right-of-way is no longer
needed to provide access. Further discussion followed.
The vote was called.
AYES: Wade ; Tanguma; Lentsch; Jorgenson ; Smith ; Anderson ;
Martin
NAYS: None
ABSTAIN : Weist
ABSENT: Brown
The motion carried.
