Re: Alley Vacation
Dear Mrs. Jensen:
You had requested information regarding the possibility of
vacation of the 14' alley adjacent to the north boundary of your
property. I have enclosed the application for such a vacation,
along with the appropriate fee schedule.
The City's review of such an application would have to
address the following concerns:
1. The City would certainly reserve an underlying utilities
and access easement for the municipal water lines in the
alley.
2. Your surveyor would have to determine which adjacent
property owners would gain which portions of the land.
Normally when alleys are vacated, they are split between
properties within the original plat on each side of the
alley. If, however, the alley was at the edge of the
original subdivision, the entire vacated portion may go to
the owner on one side. It is possible that you would gain
the entire 14' if the alley is vacated. Your surveyor would
have to confirm this.
3. If you gain a l l 14' , then Kauf fmann' s prope- ty will only
abut a public roadway at a point, reducing Kaufmann's
required frontage on a public road to practically nothing,
since the continuation of Ethel Avenue north of the alley is
actually within property owned by Gordon Amundson at 2697
Ethel Avenue. Also, vacation of the alley further eastward
would reduce or eliminate the road frontage for the
residence at 2691 Carolii.e Avenue.
Because of the above issues related to access and lot
standards, vacation of the alley is not necessarily a "sure
thing". The Planning Commission and Council might find there are
compelling reasons to not vacate the alley, hence you and/or your
neighbors who join in the application, would be risking the
$250.00 application fee plus your costs of having the necessary
survey work completed.
