Commission approves vacation of 100-foot right-of-way tied to private sale

The Huron City Commission approved a street vacation petition (recorded in the meeting as Resolution No. 2825-8) brought by Ella Wine Properties LLC and a private owner identified in the transcript as Greg. City planner Barry Cranston explained the vacation resolves ownership issues uncovered during a sale and vacates a roughly 100-foot right-of-way adjacent to the subject property while preserving easements for utilities.

Cranston said easement documents have been received to keep utilities in place and that if the vacation is approved, parties will replat the property after the 20-day period to show the vacated right-of-way and finalize title. He described this item as a formal step to cure title issues discovered in the transaction.

A motion to approve the vacation was made and seconded, and the commission approved the petition by roll-call vote. Staff told the commission the replat must go through Planning and Zoning and return to the commission for final approval.

Transcript text includes both "Greg Crick" and "Greg Craig" in adjacent lines; the record shows the same individual in connection with a private residence next to the easement, but the transcript spelling is inconsistent. The planner described the area as a 100-foot right-of-way and referenced dimensions while noting that easement language preserves utility access.
