No. 9 of 2009
(Closing and abandoning an unnamed alley adjacent to Dearborn Street
as an unimproved public right-of-way)
An ordinance closing and abandoning a portion of a City-owned alley adjacent to Dearborn Street pursuant to Petition No. 400-07-14.
WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Planning Commission (“Planning Commission”) held a public hearing at its September 10, 2008 meeting on Petition No. 400-07-014 made by Vera Novak for the Salt Lake City Corporation (the “City”) to abandon a portion of an unnamed City-owned alley immediately adjacent to the petitioner’s property at 2553 South Dearborn Street; and
WHEREAS, at its September 10, 2008 public hearing, the Planning Commission voted in favor of forwarding a negative recommendation on said petition to the Salt Lake City Council (“City Council”)
WHEREAS, having considered the Planning Commission’s recommendation, the City Council finds after public hearings that the City’s interest in the portion of the City-owned alley described below is not necessary for use by the public as a right-of-way and that closure and abandonment of the portion of the street will not be adverse to the general public’s interest; and
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. Closing and Abandoning Street. A portion of an unnamed City-owned alley adjacent to property at 2553 South Dearborn Street, which is the subject of Petition No. 400-07-14, and which is more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto, is hereby closed and abandoned and declared no longer needed or available for use as a public right-of-way.
SECTION 2. Reservations and Disclaimers. The above closure and abandonment is expressly made subject to all existing rights-of-way and easements of all public utilities of any and every description now located on and under or over the confines of this property, and also subject to the rights of entry thereon for the purposes of maintaining, altering, repairing, removing or rerouting said utilities, including the City’s water and sewer facilities. Said closure and abandonment is also subject to any existing rights-of-way or easements of private third parties.
