<br />undeveloped subdivision and partition plats, or portions thereof, including public right-of- <br />way and improved public easements located therein, only if the council finds that approval of <br />the vacation is in the public interest. <br /> <br />Findings of compliance with the above approval criterion are provided in Exhibit C of the ordinance <br />included as Attachment C. As confirmed at the public hearing, there have been no objections to the <br />request from the public, adjacent land owners, service agencies, or utility companies. As was noted in <br />the previous staff report, the request does not compromise access, circulation, utilities, or services. The <br />alley primarily serves as vehicle access to the adjacent parking lot, which is also owned by the applicant. <br /> <br />Vacation of this alley will have minimal effect on parking access and the overall circulation needs in the <br />area. The adjacent parking lot has other access points along the abutting streets which will be <br />maintained. In addition, pedestrian access will be encouraged along the vacated alley with the <br />development of new store fronts. As provided in the attached ordinance, a public utility easement will be <br />reserved to ensure continued maintenance access to underground utilities. <br /> <br />If the council approves the vacation, the ordinance to be acted on is included as Attachment C. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br /> <br />1.Adopt the ordinance as attached. <br /> <br />2.Adopt the ordinance with specific amendments. <br /> <br />3.Deny the application. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br />The City Manager recommends that the City Council approve the vacation request and adopt the <br />ordinance as attached. <br /> <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION <br /> <br />, <br />Move to adopt Council Bill 5075 an ordinance vacating the segment of High Alley between East <br /> <br />Broadway and East Broadway Alley. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br /> <br />A.Aerial Context Map of Alley Vacation Request <br /> <br />B.Map of Alley Vacation Request <br /> <br />C.Ordinance (with Exhibits A – C) for Alley Vacation <br /> <br /> <br />FOR MORE INFORMATION <br /> <br />Staff Contact: Becky Taylor, Associate Planner <br />Telephone: 541-682-5437 <br />Staff E-Mail: becky.g.taylor@ci.eugene.or.us <br /> S:\CMO\2012 Council Agendas\M120910\S1209103.doc <br />
