Commissioners delay decision on proposed abandonment of portion of 50 Sixth Street
Summary
Petitioners asked for a short delay and staff review of an abandonment request for a middle segment of 50 Sixth Street; commissioners voted to table the public hearing and refer the matter to staff for recommendation.
County staff presented exhibits for a proposed abandonment of a middle segment of 50 Sixth Street (north of Grand Avenue), described as two roughly 0.25-acre parcels within a platted but unbuilt area. Staff noted a letter from the city and said the petitioner's representative would comment after the presentation.
Myles Eakin, a real estate broker with Berkshire Hathaway representing the Kramers (property owners), asked commissioners to delay the abandonment hearing "within a couple weeks" to allow the petitioner to provide further information. A city representative (identified in the transcript as "Debbie") said the city sent a letter outlining its intent and supported a short delay; Clerk and Recorder Jeff Martin advised staff to work through the materials and bring the matter back when ready rather than setting a strict timetable.
Commissioner Jones moved to delay the public hearing and refer the matter to staff for a recommendation; the motion was seconded and the motion carried by voice vote. The record shows the item was tabled and staff will return with a recommendation and appropriate public-notice timeline.
Next steps: staff to work with petitioner and city, prepare supplemental materials and schedule a future public hearing with notice to affected parties.
