SUBJECT:
A Resolution Accepting the Dedication of a 10 feet City Easement adjacent to the right-of-way at 233 Ashland Avenue. (Ana Zarate - L15-01049 / AU33/2-15.220-DED/E - AM - Ward 4)
PURPOSE:
The Petitioner, Anna Zarate, is dedicating 10 feet City Easement to the south of the Ashland Avenue right-of-way which will provide for the installation of a new sanitary sewer to serve 237 Ashland Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
The both 233 Ashland Avenue and 237 Ashland Avenue are currently utilized as a Single Family homes with R-2 zoning. The properties are generally located on the south side of Ashland Avenue, just east of Peterson Avenue. The property at 237 Ashland Avenue was on a private septic system, however the system failed and they needed to hook onto the public sanitary sewer system. This required that the existing system be extended from its current terminus being 100 feet to the east across 233 Ashland Avenue by the property owner Armando Garcia. The proposed City Easement would allow for the City to maintain this new line.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has reviewed the Dedication of Easement, submitted by the petitioner and have sent comments back to them on those submittals. The petitioner has made all the requested changes to these documents and they now meet all of the applicable codes and ordinances.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Planning and Zoning Division would anticipate that this project will increase the City's overall tax base and viability by enhancing the city's infrastructure and improving services to its residence.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff would recommend APPROVAL of the dedication of a 10 feet City Easement adjacent to the right-of-way at 233 Ashland Avenue.
