The portion to be vacated is not currently constructed as a street and is no longer needed for public street purposes. With the vacation, the City will retain a utility easement. The applicant has ownership of the adjacent land. All public and private utilities were notified for the proposed vacation and they report no objections to the vacation request. PUBLIC OUTREACH A memorandum requesting input was sent to the utility providers and potentially impacted City departments. The adjacent property owner and the person requesting the vacation are the same, so no letters were sent to adjacent property owners. ATTACHMENTS 1.
