Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of Resolution No. 97 - 84 Vacating a Portion of Laurene Avenue (4/5ths Vote) - Laurene Avenue currently contains an 83 -foot right of way where it abuts the southwesterly 100 feet of Lot 3, Block 2, Arthur E. Thom Acres. Staff is not certain why this 17 - foot x 100 -foot strip of right of way exists. The City has determined that the right of way is not necessary for utility or roadway purposes. Vacation of this right of way would allow for a uniform building setback line for two new homes to be constructed on Laurene Avenue and eliminate the need for a variance on lot depth for a newly created lot in this location. Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 97 - 84 vacating this right of way. Council Member Kuether moved to approve Resolution No. 97 - 84 as presented. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 97 - 84 can be found at the end of these minutes.
