Council approves vacating 16-foot alley adjacent to Harrisburg school; land to revert to school district
Summary
The council approved a petition by the Harrisburg School District and Nuremberg LLC to vacate a 16-foot alley in Parsons North Addition; the land will revert to adjacent property owners, primarily the school.
The Harrisburg City Council approved Resolution 2025-12 to vacate a 16-foot alley in the Parsons North Addition after a petition from the Harrisburg School District and Nuremberg LLC.
Planning staff said the alley was platted in 1910, is on the north side of school buildings, is not currently used by the public and contains no public utilities. Staff explained that when a 16-foot alley is vacated, the northern 8 feet typically revert to the north property owner (the school) and the southern 8 feet revert to the adjacent south property owner; in this case both sides are currently owned by or adjoining the school district. Staff said the school district and Nuremberg LLC signed the petition and the planning commission recommended approval.
Councilmember [unnamed mover] moved to approve Resolution 2025-12 vacating the alley. The motion passed on a roll-call vote with Larson — aye; Maxwell — aye; Wazinski — aye; Kent — aye. Planning staff indicated the vacated property will revert to the adjacent property owners and suggested the land will return to taxable status if later conveyed or redeveloped.
