The City has a 10’ <br />right-of-way through the Valek property to the church property. The Valek’s are <br />requesting vacation of the 10' right-of-way. <br />The Valek's also are requesting to acquire 1/2 acre from the 9-1/2 tax forfeit parcel to <br />add to their existing property. This would allow them to control the drainage to the pond <br />and provide a larger back yard. It would also provide them the opportunity for a lot Une <br />rearrangement for another lot that they own in the same area. The two issues are related <br />in that the 1/2 acre acquisition was delayed until the easement issue is resolved. <br />Moorse reported that the Park and Planning Commissions have reviewed the issues and <br />recommend Garden Lane as the chosen access to the park land property. A temporary <br />pedestrian easement may be obtained from Fairview Church. Moorse said the acc^s <br />through the Valek property is not the best solution to gain access to the park. Stan <br />recommends approval of the vacation. Moorse indicated if the Council approves the <br />vacation, the acquisition of the 1/2 acre parcel can move forward. <br />Jabbour asked if the City acquired the 1/2 acre parcel outside of the tax forfeit procedure. <br />Moorse indicated the City did not. He said the acreage is tied into the entire 9-1/2 acre <br />parcel. <br />Jabbour asked if the City currently owns the 9 acres. Moorse stated the City has not yet <br />acquired the 9 acres. The City needs to submit an amended application to the County. <br />1 <br />■■III
