Description/Background: For the proposed Stonecroft Subdivision, the applicant is required to construct a masonry wall along Wasatch Blvd. as it is a major arterial. The Metro Water District easement runs directly adjacent to the street right-of-way along Wasatch Blvd. The Metro Water District does not allow fencing in their easement. The applicant had initially proposed this wall to be maintained by Sandy City, as the entire portion of the wall would be in the right-of-way. To ensure that the masonry wall is maintained by the HOA, staff proposed a 1-foot right-of-way vacation.
There are three determinations that need to be made by the Planning Commission and the City Council in considering a request for street vacation.
1. Consent of the abutters. Sandy City staff and Garbett Homes have agreed to this vacation. We have received no public objection from any property owner that abuts these existing road segments.
2. If good cause exists for the street vacation. The requested action will allow the masonry wall to be maintained by the HOA. The Sandy City Engineer recommends the partial street vacation .
3. That neither the public interest nor any person will be materially injured by the vacation. No injury to the public will occur due to this partial street vacation. This vacation is in the public interest to benefit public safety and will maintain pedestrian access along Wasatch Blvd.
