Planning commission backs vacating portion of North 7th Street, with consolidation condition
Summary
The commission voted to recommend the borough assembly vacate part of North 7th Street adjacent to Block 275 USS 1252 A, conditioned on consolidation of the vacated right-of-way with the adjacent lot if neighboring owners decline purchase.
At its Dec. 9 meeting, the Petersburg Planning Commission moved to recommend the borough assembly approve vacation of a portion of North 7th Street adjacent to Block 275 USS 1252 A, with the vacated right-of-way consolidated with the adjacent lot (Block 275) unless neighboring owners purchase their half.
A commissioner moved the recommendation and another seconded it. Commissioners discussed that the affected lots have alternative access from Goffin and Lake streets and that consolidation would make a triangular lot (lot 339 in discussion) buildable.
Planning staff (Liz) confirmed that when a right-of-way is vacated owners on both sides typically have an opportunity to acquire their half and, if owners decline, the entire right-of-way can be transferred to the remaining owner. The chair called the roll and commissioners present — Heather, Sarah, Joshua and Micah — indicated approval.
The item will be forwarded as a recommendation to the borough assembly for final action.
