CASE <br /> <br />REQUEST TO VACATE DEDICATED STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY IN <br />GATEWAY NORTH INDUSTRIAL PARK <br /> By: Steven Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Owners of property abutting 142nd Avenue N.W. and Limonite Street N.W. as dedicated in the <br />Gateway North Industrial Park are requesting the vacation of the fight-of-ways as indicated on the <br />petition received by the City Council on April 23, 1991. Four of the five fronting property owners <br />have petitioned for the vacation of these right-of-ways. <br /> <br />The City Council directed the Planning and Zoning Commission to hold a public hearing, review <br />input and make a recommendation to the City Council. <br /> <br />The City Attorney has reviewed State Statues and will be be available at the meeting to answer any <br />questions that the City Council may have concerning the vacation. <br /> <br />State Statute requires that it be found in the public interest to vacate a public street. The vacation is <br />being requested for economic reasons, namely the petitioners are required to pay for the <br />construction of the streets. It is my opinion that this vacation is not in the public interest, since in <br />the long term the area would benefit from having these streets available. My reasons are detailed <br />more fully in my attached letter to the Planning and Zoning Commission dated May 2, 1991. <br /> <br />The Planning and Zoning Commission, after the public hearing held on May 7, 1991, has <br />recommended that the City Council deny the petition for the vacating of the right-of-ways in <br />Gateway North Industrial Park. <br /> <br />Attached for your information are the following items: <br /> <br />1) <br />2) <br />3) <br />4) <br />5) <br />6) <br /> <br />Petition received by the City <br />Map showing requested vacation <br />Properties Notified for Public Hearing list <br />City Engineer's letter to Planning and Zoning Commission dated May 2, 1991 <br />Excerpt of minutes from the May 7, 1991 Planning and Zoning Meeting <br />Leuer from Applicants dated May 3, 1991. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Based on City Engineer's review, City Staff recommends that the City Council deny the proposed <br />vacation of right-of-way as shown on the attached map. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to Approve/Deny vacation of street right-of-way in Gateway North Industrial Park. <br /> <br />! <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br />Project Manager <br />City Engineer <br />Zoning Adminis~-ator <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />CC: 05/28/91 <br /> <br /> <br />
