PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
Gerald Watson, owner of lots 10 and 11, Block 5, Wanigan Subdivision, has petitioned to vacate the 10' right of way between his lots. The 10' right of way was dedicated for a future walkway. The walkway will not be constructed due to the fact that it would lead to private commercial property and is not needed. Mr. Watson owns both lots fronting the right of way. The area of the right of way proposed to be vacated is approximately 1,400 square feet.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The Council may:
- Acknowledge the petition to vacate the above-mentioned right-of-way and set a public hearing for July 22, 2013; or
- Do not acknowledge the petition and terminate the right-of-way vacation process.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The petitioner obtained a comparative market analysis to establish the value of the right of way. River Crossing Inc. has established the value of the right of way at $6,300.00.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council acknowledge the receipt of a petition to vacate a 10' right of way that intersects with Shawnee Drive and set a public hearing for July 22, 2013.
