Jensen: <br /> You had requested information regarding the possibility of <br /> vacation of the 14' alley adjacent to the north boundary of your <br /> property. I have enclosed the application for such a vacation, <br /> along with the appropriate fee schedule. <br /> The City' s review of such an application would have to <br /> address the following concerns : <br /> l. The City would certainly reserve an underlying utilities <br /> and access easement for the municipal water lines in the <br /> alley. <br /> 2. Your surveyor would have to determine which adjacent <br /> property owners would gain which portions of the land. <br /> Norma 1 ly when a 1 1 eys are vacated, they are sp 1 it between <br /> properties within the original plat on each side of the <br /> alley. If, however, the alley was at the edge of the <br /> original subdivision, the entire vacated portion may go to <br /> the owner on one side. It is possible that you would gain <br /> the entire 14' if the alley is vacated. Your surveyor would <br /> have to confirm this. <br /> 3. If you gain a 11 14' , then Kauf fmann's property wi 11 on ly <br /> abut a public roadway at a point, reducing Kaufmann's <br /> required frontage on a public road to practically nothing, <br /> since the continuation of Ethel Avenue north of the alley is <br /> actually within property owned by Gordon Amundson at 2697 <br /> Ethel Avenue. Also, vacation of the alley further eastward <br /> would reduce or eliminate the road frontage for the <br /> residence at 2691 Caroline Avenue. <br /> Because of the above issues related to access and lot <br /> standards, vacation of the alley is not necessarily a "sure <br /> thing". The Planning Commission and Council might find there are <br /> compelling reasons to not vacate the alley, hence you and/or your <br /> neighbors who join in the application, would be risking the <br /> $250.00 application fee plus your costs of having the necessary <br /> survey work completed. <br /> BUILDING&ZONING—473-7357 • ADMINISTRATION&FINANCE—473-7358 • PUBLIC WORKS—473-7359 <br /> ASSESSING <br /> .,.,..I w�a.; I <br />
