e e - Ms. Miller indicated she feels that there is an obligation for the City to receive appropriate payment whenever a piece of City property is to be sold. She asked what the selling price on this property would be. Mr. Henry indicated that the north-south portion would be $7~667; the east-west portion would be $10,089. Ms. Miller then asked if these amounts were based on an appraised value or an in-house estimate. Don Gilman~ Public Works, indicated that this was done by an in-house right-of-way agent and was in general based on current similar sales in the area. Ms. Miller also asked for clarification as to the proposed turnaround for vehicular traffic. Mr. Farah indicated that this automobile turnaround is intended to be a small drive on the southeast corner of the block which would be similar to a cul-de-sac. Ms. Miller then asked if it would make sense to keep the portion necessary for the turnaround and Mr. Farah replied that it would not provide enough room. Ms. Miller asked if cars would be coming in from 6th Avenue or from Pearl Street. She also asked who would be paying for this turnaround. Mr. Farah responded that the applicant will provide the turnaround. Ms. Miller asked if the applicant would be providing the land, or the design, or the paving. Mr. Gilman responded that it would be paid for by the property owner but that there are some optional ways for dealing with turning movement. Ms. Miller indicated that the reason for a vacation is to provide greater public benefit and questioned whether this was the case here. Mr. Farah responded that the staff had recommended the vacation--at least the east-west section. He also noted that the vacation is to provide safe pedestrian use; this would be the second public benefit. Ms. Miller asked if this area does not provide that benefit now. Mr. Farah indicated that businesses do not now open onto the alley. Ms. Miller indicated that she would like to see additional details. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously, with Councilor Obie abstaining. C.
