Council hears second reading to abandon 120‑foot alley in neighborhood commercial zone
Summary
Ordinance 2025‑O‑03, presented for second reading, would vacate and abandon a 120‑foot portion of a 10‑foot alley between Tenth Avenue and Twelfth Street; petitioner OEA Real Estate paid an appraisal of $2,100 and Planning Commission approved Dec. 2.
Huntington — The Huntington City Council held a second reading of Ordinance 2025‑O‑03 to vacate, close and abandon a 120‑foot portion of an unnamed 10‑foot alley south of Tenth Avenue and east of Twelfth Street.
Kathy Burns, director of development and planning, told council the petitioner is OEA Real Estate, which owns properties on both sides of the alley, including the building at 2007 Tenth Avenue and an adjacent parking lot. She said the properties are zoned C‑1 (neighborhood commercial) and “no structures will be built on the abandoned alleyway property, but there will be easements placed, since several utilities are located in this alleyway.”
Burns said the 20‑foot portion appraised for $2,100 and the city attorney’s office has received the check; the abandonment was approved by the Huntington Planning Commission on Dec. 2 and staff recommended support. The transcript records the explanatory presentation as part of the second reading; no final council vote appears in the provided excerpt.
