<br />REGULAR MEETING DECEMBER 9, 2002
<br />The Engineering Division had no objection if the alley between Lots 261 and 262 are replaced by
<br />a public ingress/egress easement and accommodation for turning vehicles as proposed in a separate
<br />site plan. Community and Economic Development strongly supports this vacation request. It is an
<br />initial part of the planned development project on the southwest corner of Main and Jefferson. The
<br />Area Plan Commission staff reviewed the petition and believes vacating this alley would pose
<br />several problems. Vacating these alleys would go against a Common Council policy of not creating
<br />dead end alleys. Several parking lots would not have adequate access to their lots. Cross -access
<br />easements would be necessary. Each future development on this block would be forced to create
<br />new curb cuts for any loading and parking areas. Such a practice is opposite to what is desirable in
<br />the downtown area. It appears as though utilities are present in the proposed vacation area. Utility
<br />easements would be necessary. The Police Department and Fire Department have no objections.
<br />Upon a motion made by Mr. Littrell, seconded by Mr. Inks and carried, this alley vacation was
<br />approved, subject to the above comments.
