<br />Sec. 6.12.090. Vacation of streets, alleys
<br />and public grounds.
<br />Vacation of streets, alleys and public grounds
<br />shall follow the procedures set forth in this
<br />chapter; except that such vacation shall require
<br />a petition by a majority of the landowners abut-
<br />ting the property to be vacated, and a hearing
<br />preceded by two weeks' published and posted
<br />notice, all as required by Minn. Stats. § 412.851.
<br />The council may vacate any publicly owned
<br />utility easement or boulevard reserve which is

<br />boulevard reserve means an easement established
<br />adjacent to a dedicated street for the purpose of
<br />establishing open space adjacent to the street
<br />and which area is designated on the recorded
<br />plat as boulevard reserve.
