CASE # r <br />• REQUEST TO VACATE A PORTION OF WILLEMITE STREET <br />By: Steven Jankowski, City Engineer <br />Background: <br />On June 4, 2007 staff received the attached letter dated May 30, 2007 from Mrs. Linda <br />Stenquist property owner at 15240 Willemite Street petitioning the City for the vacation <br />of a cul de sac which was platted in 1972 as a part of the Greenland Hills subdivision but <br />was never constructed. This street does not require a cul de sac since Willemite Street <br />intersects with 152 Lane as is evident from the attached site location map. <br />Staff would have no objection to the vacation of a portion of the cul de sac for this <br />reason. However, it will be necessary to retain at least a 66 foot right of way through the <br />Willemite /152 Lane corner alignment. In addition, the current Capital Improvement <br />Plan anticipates the realignment of Variolite/ Jraninute Street as a collector street into the <br />Town Center. Attached is an excerpt from the CIP showing this anticipated Collector <br />Street. Since no detailed design work has been for this alignment has been prepared at <br />this time, staff would point out that it may be advisable to retain the easternmost 40 feet <br />of this dedicated right of way in the event that the centerline of the final alignment would <br />shift to the section line. <br />• Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the cross hatched portion of the Willemite Street cul de sac as <br />identified on the figure entitled "Cul de Sac Petitioned for Vacation" be recommended <br />by the Committee to the City Council for vacation and that staff be directed to initiate <br />vacation procedures for this portion of right of way. <br />Action: <br />Motion to recommend to City Council that the cross hatched portion of the Willemite <br />Street cul de sac as identified on the figure entitled "Cul de Sac Petitioned for Vacation" <br />be recommended for vacation by the Committee to the City Council and that staff be <br />directed to initiate vacation procedures for this portion of right of way. <br />Reviewed by: <br />Director of Public Works/Principal City Engineer <br />Community Development <br />PW: 06/19/07 <br />C7 <br />-135- <br />
