Residents of Mountain View Boulevard requested a meeting with their Council members and City staff to discuss their concerns with the condition of Mountain View Boulevard. At the meeting several options were discussed as potential solutions to the residents' concerns. The majority of the adjacent property owners requested to vacate Mountain View Boulevard and make it a private street. City staff is in agreement that it is in the best interest of the City to make the street private.  There are private and public utilities in the street that will exist in an easement.  A road easement will be developed to allow access for all of the property owners.  If vacated, the street will revert to the abutting property owners.  Vacation of Mountain View Boulevard will allow the residents to maintain the street.  The City would no longer be responsible for maintenance.

The Council may:

• After holding a public hearing, approve the vacation of the above mentioned right of way; or 
• Do not approve the vacation of the above mentioned right of way.  If the vacation is not approved, the City will continue to own and maintain the road.

It is proposed that the right of way revert to the abutting property owners at no cost.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the vacation of a portion of Mountain View Boulevard.
