With regard to the City retaining utility and drainage easements in
this 1§ foot alley.
Steve Methven checked water and sewer maps and determined that
there are no existing utilities present.
I contacted Acting City Engineer Frank bavis and faxed to him
maps, and other documents regarding this alley. He also contacted
Terry Townsend. He got back with me and stated that he sees no
reason for the City to retain easements in this alley since there are
no existing utilities there; also because of the size of the alley (only
15 feet); and because alley has already been encroached on with
fences, buildings, etc. over the years.
Z also spoke with Terry earlier and he felt that alley should be
closed and that there was no need to retain easements.
Another plus for this closing, 100% of od joining property owners
signed the petition. And 8 pieces of property which have been tax
delinquent properties are being purchased enabling taxes to be
mode current.
The Ordinance, Resolution, and beads of Abandonment have been
prepared in draft form for the Thursday, September 6th agenda.
