Agenda Item: Vacation of Road Right of Way and Utility Easement located at 20483

INTRODUCTION
Scott Schlink has submitted an application for the vacation of public road right of way and
the vacation of a five foot wide utility easement dedicated with the McNearney and Larson
Addition plat in 1960. Mr. Schlink’s plan is to build a detached garage in the area of the
vacated road right of way. The subject property is located at 20483 Hamburg Avenue,
north of Hartford Way. The property includes a single family home and a driveway located
in the platted road right of way to be vacated.
The Schlink property is an 18,500 square foot parcel platted as Lot12, Block 1, McNearney and
Larson Addition. The lot includes a 2,052 square foot single family home and a driveway access
off of Hamburg Avenue.

VACATION
The right of way that the applicant requests to be vacated represented the north half of
the future 205th Street that was likely planned to be extended to the west and east of
Hamburg Avenue. Since the plat of Village Creek 4th Addition to the south was approved
in 2012 and the Aronson Bluff plat to the west was approved in 2013, the use of the subject
right of way for street purposes is no longer viable.
The total combined area of the right of way to be vacated is 5,700 square feet. The five
foot wide utility easement along the west boundary of the lot is also proposed to be
vacated and will be reestablished with a 10 foot wide drainage and utility easement
around the perimeter of parcel and vacated right of way in compliance with standard lot
easement dedication.
All utility companies with a potential interest in the easement vacation have been notified
and all have responded with no concerns. There are no identified City utilities within the
proposed area to be vacated.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Department staff recommends approval of the road right-of-way and utility
easement vacation subject to the following stipulations:
1. The vacated road right of way shall be combined with the homestead parcel into
one property identification number.
2. The property owner shall dedicate a 10 foot wide boundary drainage and utility
easement as described on the Certificate of Survey submitted with the vacation
application. The signed easement agreement shall be submitted prior to City
Council consideration of the vacation request.
3. A building permit shall be approved by the City prior to commencing construction
of the proposed shed.
