I am building a duplex on my lot, but will need 5 feet from the adjacent alley that belongs to the city. This requires me to submit a vacate alley application to the city. As part of the city's application process, I am required to obtain a letter from each utility company confirming whether there are any existing or planned utilities located within the right-of-way to be vacated. The letter should also indicate whether the area will be needed for future use or if an easement would be required following the vacation.
I have contacted Verizon several time and haven't been given the supported needed. The previous representative stated he would create a ticket number for me and send it up to escalate it. ***** ticket number. I haven't heard anything back from Verizon. It's been over a month.
Could you please assist me by providing this documentation or directing me to the appropriate point of contact within Verizon who can help with this request? I am assuming I need to speak to an engineer, or point of contact from right a way or easement department. Below is what is required from the vacate alley application:
The Applicant shall contact all utility companies on the attached list to see if each
Company has any existing or planned utilities in the right of way to be vacated. A letter
is needed from each utility stating whether they have facilities in the right of way, if it
will be needed in the future and if an easement is required after vacation.
