..t PRELIMINARY STAFF NOTES PUBLIC HEARING ON REQUEST FOR VACATION OF PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY e City of Eugene: Hallstrom (SV 85-1) Tax Lot 707--Assessor's Map 17-04-36-2 3 Located west of West .10th Avenue between Garfield Street and McKinley Street Requests vacation of an unimproved cul-de-sac bulb The proposal is to vacate an unimproved cul-de-sac bulb (public right-of-way) located approximately 200 feet west of the existing terminus of West 10th Avenue west of Garfield Street. The area involves Tax Lot 707 adjacent to the northwesterly boundary of Tax Lot 800 presently developed with Godfather Pizza and Pad West Restaurant and Tavern. In August 1977, a minor partition was approved creating three parcels, Tax Lots 702, 705, and 706 (see attached Vicinity Map). The approval was conditioned upon dedication of a cul-de-sac bulb shown as Tax Lot 707. At the time of minor partition review, the termination of West 10th Avenue with a cul-de-sac bulb located on Tax Lot 702 was determined to be in the best interest of the public and adjacent land owners. .Development to the west of the minor partition precluded extending West.10th Avenue through to McKinley Street. Also, the cul-de-sac bulb termination would result in the least ~ amount of land being dedicated to public right-of-way. Development occurring on Tax Lot 800 shortly after approval of the minor partition negated the need for extension of West 10th Avenue. The restaurant/tavern development on Tax Lot 800 has access to West 11th Avenue. Access for future development of Tax Lot 702 is addressed by the private drive (panhandle portion) of this lot extending to West 11th Avenue. Because of these facts, the Public Works Department indicated that tne dedicated cul-de-sac was not needed and it would support vacation of the right-of-way back to private ownership. The owner of Tax Lot 702 is now requesting the vacation. Findings The criteria for evaluating requests for vacation of easements and rights-of- way is contained in Section 7.610(3)(a) of the Eugene Code. The following findings and conclusions are based on information submitted by the owner of Tax Lot 702, the minor partition (M 77-124), and associated material and information received from the various referral agencies. Section 7.610(3)(a)(1 ): The subject area is not presently or in the future needed for public service, facilities, or utilities. Section 7.610(3)(a)(2): Public service, facilities, and utilities can be extended in an orderly and efficient manner. e STAFF NOTES--Eugene Ci ty Council April 22, 1985 Page 1
