VACATION <br />OF PARK <br />STREET FROM <br />DEMONT <br />TO COUNTY <br />ROAD B -2 EAST <br />Minutes from 9/14/05 <br />Blesener opened the Public Hearing to review the proposed <br />vacation of Park Street lying between Demont Street and County <br />Road B -2 East. <br />The City Administrator reviewed the City Engineer's report dated <br />September 9, 2005 relative to the vacation. The Administrator <br />noted that the School District would like Park Street as abuts their <br />property vacated to allow them to expand their ballfield area. The <br />School District granted the City additional easements for sidewalks <br />as part of the County Road B -2 improvement project, and raised <br />the issue of the vacation of Park Street at that time. The <br />Administrator noted that Terrace Heights Mobile Home Park has a <br />private road located on the Park Street easement. This road <br />appears to extend approximately 5 feet east of the right -of -way <br />centerline. Therefore, vacation of the entire width would likely <br />present a problem for the mobile home park. <br />The Administrator noted the three recommendations outlined in the <br />City Engineer's report. These are: <br />1. The School could grant the mobile home park an <br />easement to allow the street to remain on their property (the <br />vacated Park Street that would accrue to the School District). <br />2. Terrace Heights could shift the street five feet to the <br />west thereby removing it from the vacated Park Street right -of -way. <br />3. The City could vacate only the east 20 feet of the <br />street right -of -way eliminating any potential issues with the <br />mobile home park's access road to and allow both the mobile <br />home park and the school full use of the road. <br />The Administrator noted that a fourth option would be to do <br />nothing at this time. <br />Blesener noted the need for storm sewer and utility easements. <br />The Administrator indicated that the City Engineer has <br />recommended that the City retain the necessary easements for <br />these utilities. <br />Keis asked what the School District's preference would be. The <br />Administrator indicated that the School District would like to <br />accrue as much additional land through the vacation as possible. <br />9 <br />
