The dimensions of the existing easement, the proposed easement, and the legal description are described on the attached drawings. The existing easement was dedicated for ponding and flowage purposes. The property owner has requested this change because the existing easement configuration will not accommodate his proposed house and hanger. There is also a taxiway easement on the property that will be left unaltered. Rice Creek Watershed District has reviewed and approved of the proposed change as shown on the attached correspondence dated March 5, 2001. City staff has determined that the drainage can be conveyed using the reduced easement area as shown and recommends granting the vacation request. Section 12.05 of the City Charter requires that real property of the City cannot be disposed of except by Ordinance. The first reading of this ordinance was held on May 14, 2001. The Ordinance will require one more reading, publication, and a waiting period before it is in effect. The proposed schedule for this vacation is as follows: First Reading of the Ordinance Second Reading of the Ordinance Publication of the Ordinance in the Legal Newspaper Effective Date of the Ordinance May 14, 2001 (Complete) May 29, 2001 June 5, 2001 July 5, 2001 OPTIONS: 1.
