FILE #LA21-43 <br />June 21, 2021 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />successor, that the easement is not being used. (Exhibit G); It appears unlikely that it will be. <br /> <br />The vacation of an easement is final, acquiring future easements in the area can be very expensive <br />and time consuming. Planning staff recommends that a portion of the easement be vacated, and <br />a new easement be created. This is illustrated on the attached Staff’s Exhibit D. This would shift <br />the easement to the property line between Lots 4 and 5, allowing for future sanitary sewer needs <br />in the area. <br /> <br />Public Comments <br />To date, no public comments have been received. <br /> <br />Issues for Consideration <br />1. Does the Planning Commission identify any issues or concerns with this application? <br /> <br />Planning Staff Recommendation <br />Planning Staff recommends approval of the easement vacation by shifting the easement to the <br />boundary between lots 4 and 5, and connecting to the existing easement through the wetland. <br /> <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A.
