Council hears update on formal abandonment process for an unused right-of-way near Crestview
Summary
Staff reported that a diagonal right-of-way that cuts across properties near Crestview and a church is already physically unused; staff said survey work and legal documents are required and estimated completion in roughly three to six months.
During the workshop, Mr. Willis reported on a legal abandonment process for a city right-of-way that crosses properties in the Crestview area.
Lede: Mr. Willis told council the line is already physically abandoned and that the next step is a formal field survey and preparation of legal documents to complete the abandonment.
Why it matters: a formal abandonment clears title and allows adjacent owners and the city to document property boundaries and future use.
Details reported by Mr. Willis - Location and effect: the abandoned section crosses multiple properties at an angle and crosses Avenue N; staff said the diagonal alignment reduced utility of some lots and cut across church property. - Next steps and timing: staff said a field survey is required, followed by preparation of legal documentation; depending on field-work timing, staff estimated roughly three to six months for completion, though one councilor observed that certain survey steps often take about six weeks in some cases.
What the council did: the update was informational; council did not take a formal vote during the workshop.
Closing: staff said they will return with the completed survey and formal abandonment documents when those are ready.
