SECTION I. (1) A portion of a platted public utility easement, which is more fully identified and described in the Hale Stone Subdivision Preliminary Plat, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference, is hereby vacated.
(2) The purpose of the vacation is to accommodate plat amendments to the Mount Olympus Park No. 2 Subdivision Plat through the creation and recordation of the proposed Hale Stone Subdivision Plat.
(3) This ordinance is based upon a determination by the County Legislative Body following a public hearing on February 10, 2015, that due and proper notice of the hearing to vacate the platted easements was duly given according to law; that no objection was made to the proposed vacation; that good cause exists for the vacation; and that neither the public interest nor any person will be materially injured by the vacation. There will be provision of new public utility easements as shown on the Hale Stone Subdivision Preliminary Plat, Exhibit A, and the County has no present or foreseeable future public need for the portions of the existing easements being vacated, or for any other public purpose.
(4) All right, title and interest in and to the specified portions of the easements being vacated is to revert, by operation of state law and county ordinances, to the abutting property owner, Andrew Quist.
(5) This ordinance shall have no force or effect to impair any other existing easements or rights-of-way for public utilities, public franchises, irrigation, storm drainage, or other such easements, as presently exist under, over, or upon the vacated portions of said easements, or as are or may be shown on the official plats and records of the County.
(6) The Salt Lake County Recorder is hereby directed to record this ordinance and accompanying plat, and to make the necessary changes on the official plats and records of the County to reflect said ordinance.
SECTION II. This ordinance shall become effective 15 days after its passage and upon at least one publication of the ordinance or a summary of the ordinance in a newspaper published and having general circulation in Salt Lake County.
