When vacating the portion 5 Corners was interested it, it was decided it would be <br />preferred to not leave an odd area of dedicated ROW that doesn’t have a logical purpose. Here are <br />some points to share with the Board <br /> <br />The primary reason for including it would be for ROW clean up and to avoid confusion. The <br />property has direct access to the side street and alley. <br />Per the rules of vacation, that portion would go to the adjacent property owner (i.e the house <br />at the corner) unless documentation was provided that it was solely taken from another <br />parcel during the original platting. <br />We do not require consent from the adjacent property owner when there is a ROW vacation. <br />However, we have asked the developer to reach out to the property owner. <br />The property owner will receive a certified notice when this is filed with the Council. <br />There may be a slight change in taxes, but it’s not likely to be significant. <br />The adjacent property owner is already required to maintain this portion of property, so there <br />will be no increase in responsibility. <br /> <br />The developer is fully aware of the intent. It was a suggestion, not a requirement, but would make <br />sense to handle at this time instead of addressing again in the future. <br /> <br />I hope that helps. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Angela M.
