Committee approves vacation of Forest Street strip for transfer to CSL Plasma
Summary
The Planning Committee voted by consent to vacate a portion of Forest Street right-of-way between Grant and Sherman streets and authorize transfer of the parcel to the adjacent property owner, CSL Plasma, after staff said the land was acquired in the 1970s and is no longer needed for widening.
The Akron City Council Planning Committee approved, by consent, an ordinance to vacate a portion of the south side of Forest Street right-of-way between Grant and Sherman streets and transfer the parcel to the adjacent property owner, CSL Plasma.
City Development Manager David Messner told the committee the parcel was acquired in the 1970s for potential street widening but “was technically never dedicated” and is no longer needed. He said the adjacent property owner requested the transfer.
The measure was placed on the consent agenda and approved without objection. Committee Chair (name not specified in transcript) called for the motion and the ayes carried.
The committee record shows the city will execute the transfer if the ordinance is enacted; no additional conditions, covenants or follow-up tasks were discussed during the meeting. The ordinance was introduced as an emergency measure on the meeting agenda.
Members present at the vote included Council members Fusco, Connor, Boyse and Hannah; Councilman Kammer was absent.
