Information
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:
- After holding a public hearing, approve the vacation of the above-mentioned right-of-way; or
- Do not approve the vacation of the above-mentioned right-of-way.
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 the City Council conduct a public hearing, approve the Resolution vacating a 10' right of way that intersects with Shawnee Drive and to accept the price of $6,300 from the adjacent property owner.
