Agenda Item Text:
Adopt Resolution 11-11, abandoning the alleyway within Block 11 of the Bowie Townsite as described therein.
Background:
Carol Volk the owner of APN 302-27-038 requested an abandonment of the 20' wide alleyway. When the property was purchased in 2006 the applicant was not aware of the alleyway going through the parcel and that the home and barn are actually located in the alleyway. Approval of the abandonment request would eliminate the applicant's concern regarding the placement of the buildings. Please see attached application.
A review of the criteria for the abandonment was conducted as follows:
• The alleyway is not on a section or mid-section line and does not provide sole legal access to any current parcel.
• The Transportation Planner had no objections to the abandonment and her comments are attached.
• Two local utilities, SW Gas Corporation and Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Co-Op were contacted and no objections were received.
• A site review confirmed that the house and barn are located in the alleyway.
• Compensation for the proposed abandoned alleyway was determined to be $200 based on the land values in Bowie. That amount has been received.
In as much there are no objections, the alleyway is unnecessary for public road use, this department recommends full abandonment.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
If abandoned, and once abandonment documents have been executed, no further Board action is required.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If abandonment is not approved, the unused alleyway will remain a public right-of-way. Property owner would continue to be encroaching on the County ROW without a permit.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
