Dale t ?ubank and Patricia Card, owners of the property adjacent to the portion of the alley being considered for vacation (see attached map) are making the application to vacate. The alley dead ends on the East Aspen Townsite Line and that area is presently used as parking and is only accessible from a driveway off of Hyman Street. The application was referred to the following City Departments and utility companies: Streets Dept. Fire Dept. Mtn. Bell * Electric Dept. *Sanitation Dept. *Rocky Mtn. Gas * Water Dept. Canyon Cable Those listed with asterisks responded and their responses were mostly favorable to the vacation, saying it posed no problems. Rocky Mountain Gas was the only one expressing any concern because they have a gas line going down the alley to service the buildings on the block. If the alley is vacated then it will affect zoning as stated by Sec. 24 -2.5: Sec. 24 -2.5. Zoning of vacated areas. Whenever, subsequent to the effective date of this section, any street, alley or other public may within the City, of Aspen shall be vacated by action of the city council, and when the lands within the boundaries thereof attach to and r . , become a part of lands adjoining such street, alley or public way, such lands formerly within such vacated street, alley or public way shall, automatically, and without further action by the city council, acquire and be subject to the same zoning regulations as are applicable to land to which • they attach, provided, that in determining land available for development, there shall be excluded from the calculation of allowable density or required open space those areas of the development tract acquired by vacation. (Ord. No. 11 -1975, § 1) The area of the proposed vacation is 525.96 square feet. RECOMMENDATION It is my recommendation that the alley be vacated. There is no apparent need now or in the foreseeable future that this alley area is needed by the City of Aspen in its usual functions for utilities and access. PROPOSED MOTION If Council concurrs, the motion should read as follows: I move that the City vacate the portion of the alley as applied for by Dale Eubank and Patricia Card giving to each their respective half of the alley subject to the following: The owners will grant the necessary easements for the service and maintenance of any utilities that are in the vacated area.

The alley is totally unusuable by the city for purposes of anything other than utility or trail easement and was full of trash and scrap lumber prior to my cleaning up the alley space in preparation of building a kennel. The property is not visable from the street or even from the alley since it is down an embankment next to the river. I will sign an agreement to totally indemnify the city of any cost of removal of the fence in case of the city's desire to have the fence so removed and the property placed back in the same order as prior to my erecting the fence. I would appreciate your consideration in granting me this encroachment. Thank you. �4 e Euban DE /rf
