Description/Background:
Jax and Stephanie Pettey are requesting the Sandy City Council consider vacating a 10-foot public utility easement that runs through the middle of five different properties (See Exhibit 1: Easement Location, map of the Bell Canyon Irrigation System in the general area, and owners signature). The affected properties are Lots 15-19 of the Dimple Dell Heights Subdivisions, which was recorded in April 1972. The applicants are requesting the easement vacation in order to allow them to add on to the rear of the home without building over the recorded easement.
The easement vacation would not include the seven (7) foot PUEs along the north and south boundaries of said Lots, nor the seven (7) foot PUE along the west boundary of Lot 15, nor the ten (10) foot PUE along the east boundary of Lot 15 and the west boundary of Lot 16.
The easement was established for the Bell Canyon Irrigation ditch. This irrigation ditch has been rerouted and this portion of the easement is no longer being used. There was a Bell Canyon Irrigation Company Board of Directors’ meeting on September 1, 2016, where this request was discussed. After a short discussion, a motion was made to abandon the easement that runs through these particular lots. Also, each of the utility companies that may have had a vested interest in the easement have been contacted and have agreed to relinquish their interest in the easement. (See Exhibit 2: Utility Letters and minutes from the Bell Canyon Irrigation Company Board of Directors’ Meeting).
