Dept. of Public Works <br />Page 3 <br />5. The public is benefited by the vacation as an increase in property tax revenue results from <br />the vacation action. There would also be a reduction in maintenance cost by Public <br />Works. As there is a proposal for a public swim area in the vicinity, it is anticipated that <br />the vacation will reduce the need for parking enforcement along this segment of roadway. <br />6. An appraisal was not needed since compensation of the vacated land will not be required <br />from the neighboring landowners. <br />7. Maintenance work of the road has been performed within the right-of-way in the past. <br />This has consisted of surface treatment installation and other regular maintenance work. <br />There have been no capital expenditures on the rights-of-way by the County. <br />8. Public Works records include a permit from 1970 for a water and sewer line to be <br />installed across Holiday Avenue to serve property to the north. An easement preserving <br />the Water District No. 6 utilities is being proposed. <br />9. The right-of-way has been dedicated public on recorded plats. This enables the County to <br />provide adjoining properties easements prior to vacation. An easement is to be provided <br />to Water District #6 to access their facilities. <br />The Department of Public Works recommends the Board approve the proposed vacation of <br />portions of Holiday Avenue and granting of an access easement to Water District No. 6 <br />(EXHIBIT 1) as requested. <br />Dated this 21 st day of June 2022. <br />Mark R.
