BOOK ! . ri,uE J <br />Conclusion <br />The subject right-of-way is not part of the roadway system as noted on the County's thoroughfare <br />plan and is not needed for the thoroughfare plan system. The abandonment would not eliminate <br />access to any properties, and local traffic could use other existing, nearby streets in the neighborhood <br />for access if the right-of-way is abandoned. Additionally, the abandonment would eliminate a <br />permanent half -street and, as recommended, would preserve a paved walkway for Greenbrier <br />residents. The County Attorney's Office has reviewed and approved the attached abandonment <br />resolution for legal form and sufficiency. Therefore, in staffs opinion the proposed abandonment <br />is warranted. As covered under a recommended approval condition, the applicant will be required <br />to execute a cash escrow agreement to guarantee performance of required street modifications. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners abandon <br />its rights to the subject 18th Street right-of-way segment and authorize the Chairman to execute a <br />cash escrow agreement bonding asphalt removal, grassing, and signage, as well as the attached <br />abandonment resolution, with the following conditions: <br />1. That over the segment of the right-of-way to be abandoned a drainage, utility and <br />pedestrian easement shall be reserved, and rights for public use of the "T" turnaround <br />areas shall be reserved, and <br />2. The resolution not be recorded until the applicant executes a cash escrow agreement <br />that guarantees the required asphalt removal, grassing, and signage. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />1.
