The application's description as it appears in Canyon County's record. See the official record
The property owner asks to formally remove a landscaping, utility, drainage and irrigation easement of about 12,150 square feet from a 3.07-acre lot at 12080 Rivendell Ct. near Nampa. The easement was released by the homeowners association in 2013 but never removed from the plat, and the owner has used it for livestock and built a structure there. The owner would keep the required utility easements along the front, side and rear of the lot.
The applicant requests a plat vacation to remove an easement on Lot 5, Block 1 of Two Towers Subdivision (Exhibit B).
Project name on file: Easement on Lot 5, Block 1 of Tower Towers Subdivision.
