AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board Business Meeting of November 21, 2011
Please see directions for completing this document on the next page.
DATE: November 4,2011
FROM: George Kolb, Interim Road Dept. Director Road 541-322-7113
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of Board Signature of Resolution 2011-139, Initiating the Vacation of a Portion of
Knickerbocker Avenue Located in the North C Acres Subdivision in Deschutes County, Oregon
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? NO
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Billy and Priscilla Hardin approached the Road Department on behalf of residents living along the
right-of-way of Knickerbocker A venue located along the southern boundary of the North C Acres
Subdivision located south of Terrebonne, Oregon. This right-of-way was shown as an easement on the
plat and dedicated to the public per the Dedication on the plat. The apparent intent of the dedication
was that if the property to the south developed, it would dedicate a 30 foot right-of-way along its north
boundary to form a 60 foot right-of-way for roadway purposes.
North C Acres was developed in 1969. In 1980, the property to the south was developed into a
subdivision called Mountain Shadows. The plat for this subdivision did not dedicate a 30-foot
easementlright-of-way along the north boundary of the subdivision; therefore, the 30 feet reserved for
Knickerbocker A venue is no longer needed for development. The vacation will alleviate the
trespassing nuisance and the associated fire hazard that goes with it. Staff drove the road located in the
easement and it is very steep and rough. There is no public land at the end or along this easement, so I
there is not an issue of obstructing access to public lands. Signature of Resolution 2011-139 initiates
the vacation process.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None. All fees required for this vacation have been paid by the applicant.
