Mr. Fornell confirmed that all applications , publication, and notification requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance had been met and no one present reported failure to receive nor object to the contents of the notice. Mr. Blanske told the Board he was requesting the City vacate the alley so he may replat his property into one 90 foot wide corner lot as required by City Ordinance, and two lots 75 x 120 feet deep to align them with the new residential development in the Hedlund PUD south of him. The alley also runs through the property owned by Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Bona who are also interested in having it vacated according to Mr. Fornell who said their request would have been considered at this hearing if the notice of the hearing had not encompassed only the Blanske property. Mr. Blanske reported Mr. Hedlund would not oppose the vacation of the alley.

No one present reported failure to receive the notice nor objected to its content. Mr. Blanske reiterated his plans to replat the property into three lots and said he planned to tear down the existing house on the corner lot. Mr. Bjorklund said he would prefer to see the property split up for four residential lots since he was concerned with the suggested development of the corner lot and whether it will fit into the comprehensive planning for that area.
