RESOLUTION 8843, INTENT TO VACATE A 22 X 104.8 FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY IN BEL-VIEW PALISADE.
John and Colleen Kunz, the owners of Lot 1, Block 2, Replat of Blocks 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 13, and a portion of Block 2, Bel-View Palisade Addition, and Quality Life Concepts, the owner of Lot 13, Replat of Lots 11, 12, and 13, Block 1, Belview Palisade Addition, petitioned to vacate a 22 foot wide right-of-way between the lots. The involved 22 foot wide right-of-way contains a storm drainage pipe, gas main and a water service line but has not been used for vehicular access and has been landscaped and maintained by the Kunz family. The Public Works Department indicated that the City does not need to retain it as a dedicated right-of-way although a utility and drainage easement will have to be retained across the full strip. The Planning Board, during a regular meeting held November 26, 1996, passed a motion recommending the City Commission vacate the 22 foot wide right-of-way between Blocks 1 and 2 of Bel-View Palisade Addition and approve the accompanying amended plat providing for distribution of the abandoned right-of-way. Commissioner Rosenbaum moved, seconded by Commissioner Gray, that the City Commission adopt Resolution 8843 and set 7:00 p.m., January 7, 1997, as the time for the public hearing. Motion carried 4-0. |
