| This public hearing is to declare a section of Drainage Improvement District (DID) #48 abandoned, from manholes 71 through 74 in the section of DID pipe from the vicinity of the intersection of Arlington Street and 64th Avenue to approximately 300 feet north of the intersection of Nob Hill Boulevard and 64th Avenue.
All property rights to DIDs within city limits were ceded to the City by Yakima County when the City accepted transfer of this conveyance system. There is little legal specificity as to how to decommission DID lines after they are essentially abandoned. As a result, the City is treating them as a utility for purposes of abandonment and asking the City Council to hold a public hearing declaring the above-listed section of DID #48 surplus property.
This section of DID #48 is no longer necessary as it has been replaced by a 21-inch diameter pipe that is parallel to, and within the 64th Avenue right of way. As the City has no need for this portion of the DID system, the property owner would like to remove this easement from the property. |
