PUBLIC HEARING: Vacation of r-o-w for 25`h Street and Lisbon Avenue This is a public hearing to consider a petition for right-of-way vacation for 25th Street and Lisbon Avenue. Notice was published in the Stillwater Gazette and affected property owners were notified by U.S. Mail as required by State Statute. This issue was before the Council in 1996, and the action of the Council was to deny the petition to vacate the easements for 25`h Street and Lisbon Avenue and when the cluster ordinance is completed the City will notify the residents and revisit the conditions on Parcel A had linked to Parcel B for development if it is appropriate to proceed under those conditions with a vacation of any of the easements. A map showing the undeveloped rights -of -way petitioned for vacation was provided. It also shows the undeveloped land between Heritage Farms and Eden Park. Tim Mandel, petitioner, read an analysis as to why this vacation should be granted. The two property owners of the undeveloped land have not signed the petition. Administrator Kueffner pointed out that the State Statute 412,851 guides' street vacations. That statute states "No such vacation shall be made unless it appears in the interest of the public to do so after a hearing preceded by two weeks published and posted notice. By the end of 1999, the City will complete the Comprehensive Plan. The future land use guide for the undeveloped Henning/Jobnson parcel should be reviewed during this process.
