BACKGROUND: Portions of the alleyway (the east 120 feet) through Block 53 were previously vacated by Resolution 09-43. The McArdles' proposed vacation lies west of the previous vacated alleyway and measures 20' wide by 95' long. If approved, the McArdles would receive the north half of the vacated alleyway measuring 10' x 95'. (See attachments for clarification of the requested vacation.) A site visit revealed an encroachment into the unopened alleyway due to an existing building. It appears that an approval of the vacation by the Board would not solve the encroachment issue. (See attached photos of building and approximate encroachment.) All normal stipulations of vacated rights-of-way required by the County are requested to be waived. OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove request to vacate said right-of way. RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve the right-of-way vacation request from the McArdles without stipulations.
