Background: The width of road right-of-way on Marietta Way is 40 feet. Nevada land Investors, LLC, as the adjacent owner of the property located at 1705 Marietta Way has requested the abandonment of the 1,739 square feet adjacent to his existing property. The property requested for abandonment is all located behind the existing curb line and the sidewalk. The proposed abandonment will allow for the future expansion of the 1705 Marietta Way property.

Analysis: Staff recommends the Council approve the abandonment request from Nevada Land Investors, LLC to vacate approximately 1,739 square feet of that portion of Marietta way, as described in the attached Exhibit “A” and as depicted in the attached Exhibit “B” The right-of-way proposed for abandonment is not required for road purposes now or in the future. The abandonment of the road right-of-way will return a 1,739 square foot parcel to the tax rolls, and encourage future expansion of the adjacent property.

Alternatives: 1. The City Council could approve the abandonment as outlined by staff. 2. The City Council could reject the abandonment and provide direction to the City Manager. 3. The City Council could direct the City Manager to provide alternatives to this proposal.

Recommended Motion: I move to approve the vacation of a portion of Marietta Way as outlined by staff.
