Hearing Summary 
Mr. Christopher DePerro, the Abandonment Hearing Officer, called the hearing to order at 9:30 
am on August 12, 2021.  He then invited staff to introduce themselves.  
Ms. Maggie Dellow, the Abandonment Coordinator introduced the abandonment case ABND 
210037 by reading the abandonment case into the record by stating the applicant, location, 
abandonment request, and purpose of the request, as well as City staff research. 
Mr. DePerro then started the discussion by asking the applicant if they would like to add any 
additional comments regarding the abandonment request.  
Ms. Kimberly Villabon explained that the existing right-of-way is taking up a lot of space near the 
lot which is making it difficult to construct a pool in the desired area. Ms. Villabon explained that 
an abandonment of the excessive right-of-way would allow her to move the site wall closer to the 
street, providing more space to build a pool in the backyard of her home.  
Ms. Dellow and staff reviewed the comments and proposed stipulations of approval provided from 
City Reviewers and Public Utility Providers. 
Ms. Villabon asked if the property markers would be moved following final approval of the 
abandonment. Mr. DePerro indicated that the City does not move property markers, but that the 
City maps would be updated to show the abandonment following final approval.   
The Hearing Officer granted a conditional approval subject to the stipulations in the staff report.
