15
16 Item 6A — City Engineer Hankee explained the procedural nature of this request. An
17 ordinance amendment is required related to a vacation for a small building project.
18 There is a large utility power line overhead and the drainage and utility easement mimics
19 that. However, the drainage and utility ground easement doesn't need to be as large as
20 the overhead so therefore the City can grant the vacation to allow for construction of a
2] deck. Mayor Rafferty noted that this type of change comes at quite a cost to the property
22 owner; Community Development Director Grochala explained the costs related to a
23 vacation and that is what is charged.
