Council approves vacating utility easement to allow home on combined lots
Summary
The Wyoming City Council approved Resolution 26-02-17 to vacate a five-foot drainage/utility easement between 7346 and 7384 255th Street so the owner of both lots can combine them and build a dwelling; staff had recommended approval after minor technical adjustments.
The Wyoming City Council on Feb. 2 approved a resolution to vacate a drainage and utility easement between two adjacent residential parcels, allowing the owner to combine the lots and place a single dwelling.
Staff told the council the easement at issue is a 5-foot drainage/utility easement on both sides of the property line between 7346 and 7384 255th Street and that the applicant, the Teresa M. Hubert Revocable Trust, owns both lots. Staff recommended approval after adjusting the previously stated measurement to account for the city’s standard 10-foot rear-yard easement.
“The vacation of the easement is needed to allow the applicant to construct a dwelling on their preferred location of the properties,” staff said during the presentation.
Council opened the required public hearing; no members of the public spoke. After a brief clarifying exchange (councilors confirmed the parcels are under single ownership and that engineering and public-works staff raised no concerns), a motion to approve Resolution 26-02-17 passed by voice vote.
The council’s approval removes the recorded easement so the owner may combine the lots and proceed with construction, subject to the city’s normal permitting and building-review process.
Procedural next steps: the council approved the formal resolution; building and utility work will continue to require separate permits and inspections before occupancy.
