Staff recommends approval.
Background: The Access Easements fall within the ownerships of Flower Point, LLC, and Western Metals Recycling. The Access Easements are not used by the two effected owners or the general public, and has become an area of neglect, and dilapidated gravel and concrete. Flower Pointe LLC, the Applicant, will fence off the Access Easements and maintain the abandoned 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.
