Said lot or piece of ground containing an area of 0.046 Acres (2,000.80 sq.ft.).

 

Section 2. PWSA indicates they have a 6" PWSA sanitary sewer within the proposed street vacation. The existing sewerline must be retained. The property owner must grant an easement to PWSA for facility maintenance and operation. Agreement is on file in the Division of Permits, Department of Mobility and Infrastructure, in the vacation folders.

 

Section 3. PWSA Reserves the Right for a Utility Easement(s): Be advised no fixed permanent structures (buildings, walls, fences etc.) will be permitted in the vacated right-of-way area that will impact or compromise daily operation and/or maintenance of existing or proposed new PWSA facilities. PWSA can accept conventional street/drive-way type paving (hardscape) and/or landscape areas except trees. Any hardscape or landscape will be the responsibility of the property owner to replace if damaged during repair or maintenance of PWSA facilities.

 

Section 4. Since this portion of the right-of-way is presently unopened and unused for street or pedestrian purposes and the City has no intention to open this right-of-way, the Finance Department in line with Law Department policy, places no price or charge for this vacation.

 

Section 5. The Urban Redevelopment Authority shall, within sixty (60) days after the effective date of this resolution, must record this vacation with the Allegheny County Department of Real Estate.
