MANNING 1
2) The southernmost portion of the 5000 block of Gordon Avenue, a width of 60'
ponce A IN,sTRATI~~m Covert Street north 350' to the north property line of Lot 6, Block 32
and Lot 19, Block 33, Seminary Hill Addition, and
,f;RE ADM ISTRATION.II
3) The southernmost portion of the 15' wide north/south alley in Block 32,
~'+ IfAx:T Seminary Hill Addition, from Covert Street north 300' to the north property
_ line of Lots 7 & 18, Block 32, Seminary Hill Addition. The subject streets
and alley are as shown on the attached map.
The subject street and alley rights-of-way were acquired by dedication. The
subject street rights-of-way are not open on the ground and contain no utility
facilities. The subject alley right-of-way also is not open on the ground but
does contain electric and sewer utility facilities. The subject vacation re-
quest is made in order to replat the vacated rights-of-way with adjacent pro-
perty, to expand the building area, and provide more usable yard space.
The subject vacation request was submitted and reviewed prior to the adoption
of the City's compensation policy, therefore, compensation for the vacated
rights-of-way will not be required.
Reviewing City departments and private utility companies have raised no objec-
tions to this request provided the vacated rights-of-way are replatted with
`~~ adjacent property and the alley right-of-way is retained as a utility easement
°~ for the existing electric and sewer utility facilities. A satisfactory replat,
dedicating and retaining the necessary and appropriate utility easements has
been submitted.
The City Plan Commission has reviewed this request and recommends that the
subject rights-of-way be vacated as requested.
Recommendation
It is recommended that an ordinance be adopted vacating the 1800 and 1900 blocks
of Covert Street, the southernmost portion of the 5000 block of Gordon Avenue,
and the southernmost portion of the 15' wide north/south alley in Block 32,
Seminary Hill Addition, as recommended by the C~.ty P1~~~~ ~n.
