RE: A public hearing at 6:30 p.m. concerning the request that a portion of an alley located within the Westminster Park at the southwest corner of 1700 South and 1000 East be vacated.
ACTION: Councilmember Fonnesbeck moved and Councilmember Mabey seconded to close the public hearing, which motion carried, all members present voting aye.
Councilmember Fonnesbeck moved and Councilmember Kirk seconded to approve the petition, closing the portion of the alley rather than vacating it, and requested that if the city sold the property the neighborhood would have an opportunity to re-establish the right of way, which motion carried, all members present voting aye.
DISCUSSION: Vernon Jorgensen, planning director, explained that the parks department was in the process of revamping the park and there was a dedicated alley which ran through the park. He indicated that the remaining portion of the alley would be used for a turn-around area for cars, which was a recommendation by the Planning Commission. Mr. Jorgensen indicated that the alley needed to be closed rather than vacated since the property would revert to the abutting property owners if it were vacated and the city needed the property for the park.
Joanne Sindergaard, 965 Blame Avenue, supported the alley closure as long as the park was built. She expressed concern that if the park wasn’t build and the property was sold then the residents wouldn’t have access to the alley. She requested that the Council take this into consideration and let the neighborhood have an option for the right of way if the property was sold.
