Description/Background:
The applicant, the Sandy City Public Works Department, is requesting a partial street vacation of Benson Way. If vacated, a portion of Benson Way would then be transferred to the adjacent properties to the east and west. (See Exhibit1 - Benson Way Partial Street Vacation Exhibit).
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a positive recommendation to the City Council for the partial street right-of-way vacation of a portion of Benson Way as shown in the attached exhibit, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions of approval:
FINDINGS
1. The partial street vacation action by the City will transfer the ownership of the subject property to the abutting property owners, who will use the area in future development of the property, or agree to own and maintain the property. Therefore, good cause for the action exists.
2. That there is neither material injury to either the public interest nor any person by the requested vacation.
3. Staff has not received any objection from the abutting property owners.
4. The City Engineer has recommended the approval of the partial street vacation.
CONDITIONS
1. That the approval is conditioned upon the City proceeding through the vacation process through action by the City Council.
2. That the recording of the street vacation ordinance be done with the Salt Lake County Recorder’s Office.
