the adjoining property for the Litsey Creek Cottages multifamily development. The City Plan Commission recommended approval of this request at
its meeting on April 28, 2021. An acceptable final plat (FP-21-052) has been received in accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance.

the rights -of -way or own any property adjacent to the right-of-way and did not expend any City funds to purchase the right-of-way easement. In
accordance with the City's policy regarding street and alley vacation transactions approved by the City Council on March 6, 2007, Mayor and
Council Communication (M&C G-15624), staff recommends waiving the fair market value or any portion thereof of purchase price of this right-of-
way easement for the street.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
