Lbt of Exhibits A - Survey/Staff Sketch B - V^’cation Application C - Revised Variance Application D - Notice of Planning Commission Action 7/31/97 E - Hardcover Request Correction F - Memo and Exhibits of 7/16/97 Revisions to Original Application This item was tabled at the July meeting to allow applicant to revise and amend the application. Applicants have formally applied for the vacation of dedicated public right-of-way and park, and have revised their variance application to include lot area and width as well as hardcover for the proposed layout. Vacation of Road and Park Areas After reviewing the right-of-way issue. Public Works and Zoning staff concluded that the existing 40 ’ right-of-way for Spruce Place should not be vacated, but the dedicated roadway east of the park between its north and south extremities, could be vacated. This results in the City retaining its ability to relocate Spruce Place further north and off of the property to the south of the park, if that becomes necessary for some reason in the future. While there is no intent to move Spruce Place, the fact that it is partially encroaching on th'? property to the south suggests that the City should leave its options open. This reduces the size of the area to be vacated to approximately 9,000 s.f., which is still larger than the 7,000 s.f. portion of Lot 5 and vacated Portland Place to be dedicated back to the City.
