Subject:
Set Public Hearing for Vacation of a Segment of Fourth Avenue West Public Right-of-Way
Policy/Action Requested:
Adopt Resolution R2024-085, setting the public hearing date for vacation of a segment of Fourth Avenue West Public Right-of-Way located east of Adams Street.
Recommendation:
Approve the action requested.
Discussion:
Levi Schneider, applicant and representative of Bridgeton Ventures, LLP (property owner of adjacent parcels), has requested vacation of a segment of Fourth Avenue West Public Right-of-Way located east of Adams Street. The balance of that right of way (the south half and a portion of the north half) has previously been vacated, so there is no intent of the city to construct a road in this location. Should this vacation be approved, Danny’s Construction (business adjacent to this right-of-way), has no immediate plans to utilize this area. The city has no issue with this vacation, conditioned that the applicant shall dedicate easements to ensure protection of utilities located within this right-of-way and allow for construction of a trail in the future.

The attached Resolution R2024-085 sets a public hearing date of Tuesday, June 18, 2024, to consider the vacation of this right-of-way. On that date, comments from staff members and utilities, as well as a recommendation from the Planning Commission, will be presented to the City Council for consideration. The Planning Commission will consider this request at their June 6, 2024 meeting.
