6. Ordinance Authorizing the Vacation of a Portion of a 15-Foot Right-of-Way
Easement at 12490 Jefferson Avenue and a 15-Foot Sanitary Sewer Easement at
12500 Jefferson Avenue
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA,
RELEASING AND VACATING A PUBLIC SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT AND A
PORTION OF A RIGHT-OF-WAY EASEMENT FOR SANITARY LINE.
As part of Costco Wholesale's relocation and expansion, BL Companies is
requesting the vacation of an existing 15-foot perpetual right-of-way easement
and a 15-foot sanitary sewer easement. These easements were previously
granted to the City of Newport News for a sanitary sewer line.
The property was currently undergoing site development and as part of the
process, the existing sanitary line would need to be moved to a different
location within the site to accommodate the new building footprint and the
proposed site improvements. The point of connection at the property line
would remain unchanged.
A new 15-foot-wide easement, which will be dedicated to the City, has been
proposed to accommodate the relocated sanitary sewer line. The relocation of
both the sanitary line and associated easement is necessary to facilitate the
planned development.
During the design phase of the project, the City reviewed the sanitary sewer
easement area. It was determined that the 15-foot sanitary sewer easement
located at 12500 Jefferson Avenue, as well as the 15-foot perpetual easement
located at 12490 Jefferson Avenue, are no longer needed in their current
location and can be vacated and relocated.
The City Manager recommends approval.
