Council approves vacation of 20‑foot dead‑end alley at 7925 Fourth Street North
Summary
The council unanimously approved an ordinance vacating a 20‑foot dead‑end alley at 7925 Fourth Street North, subject to easement dedications for existing utilities and replanting conditions; DRC recommended approval 7‑0.
The St. Petersburg City Council unanimously approved an ordinance on Oct. 2 to vacate a 20‑foot wide dead‑end alley located at 7925 Fourth Street North.
Scott Boyd of the city's zoning/land use staff described the request and said the applicant owns parcels on both sides of the alley. Staff routing and utility reviews identified the need to dedicate easements over an existing reclaimed water main in the alley and to accommodate facilities owned by Duke Energy, Frontier Communications and TECO. The ordinance requires dedication of those easements and compliance with engineering and water resources memos before recording.
"The applicant does own both properties on either side of the alley ... Staff received comments from engineering and water resources requiring an easement to be dedicated over the existing reclaimed water main located within the alley," Scott Boyd said. He told council that Frontier provided a letter of no objection and that the DRC recommended approval by a 7‑0 vote on Aug. 6, 2025.
Council voted to approve the ordinance; the clerk announced the motion passed unanimously. The ordinance sets conditions for easement dedications and replanting tied to recording of the vacation. No members of the public registered to speak on the item.
An ordinance number was read for the record during the hearing but the citation was not fully specified in the staff reading during the meeting; staff indicated engineering and water resources conditions must be satisfied prior to recording.
