The <br />City required that the private road outlot (Outlot A) be platted to provide access to Lot 2, Block 1, <br />which would other.risc be landlocked if for some reason the entire purchase was not consummated. <br />The City also agreed, via i .’'eloper's Agreement, that if the School District within 11 years <br />acquires title to all 4 lots, the _ would "upon the Developer's petition for combination of Lots 1 <br />and 2, Block 1, Lots I and 2, Block 2, and Outlot A into a single lot, provide me necessary <br />resolutions, approvals and other reasonable documentation, all in recordable form, to grant approval <br />of such combination, to vacate, abandon and terminate the Easement in Outlot A...". <br />Attorney Tom Crosby on benalf of the School District has submitted a letter to the City Attorney <br />initiating such a petition and suggesting that a quit-claim deed by the City to the School District is <br />the appropriate document for extinguishing the easement rights. Staff and the City Attorney have <br />not yet had the opportunity to reach a conclusion as to the process for this extinguishment. It may <br />require a a public hearing and formal vacation process, or it may require some lesser process. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to authorize staff to commence whatever review and approval process is necessary in order <br />for the City to complete its obligations under the terms of the 1988 Developer's Agreement.
