PUBLIC HEARING - Vacation of a Segment of Fourth Avenue West Public Right-of-Way | | |
| | | | | | | | Policy/Action Requested:
Adopt Resolution R2024-088, a resolution approving the vacation of a segment of Fourth Avenue West Public Right-of-Way located east of Adams Street. | | |
| | | | | | | | Recommendation:
The Planning Commission reviewed this item at their June 6, 2024 meeting, and by a unanimous vote, recommended that the City Council approve the request. | | |
| | | | | | | | 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.
Engineering has provided a memo with conditions of approval, should the Commission and City Council support the request. SPU commented that prior to recording of the right-of-way vacation, the applicant shall grant SPU a drainage and utility easement over the portion of 4th Street that is intersected by Webster Street (shown circled in blue on the attached certificate of survey) for a future watermain extension.
