Goodland planning commission hears preliminary alley and right‑of‑way vacation inquiries
Summary
Commissioners heard preliminary requests to vacate alleyways and a street right‑of‑way at multiple locations (including near the de‑annexed Goodman Energy Center and a long block between Kansas and Montana); commissioners noted utility and ingress/egress considerations and asked for formal requests and addresses.
The Goodland Planning Commission reviewed preliminary inquiries about vacating alleyways and a street right‑of‑way at several locations and discussed utility, ownership and access implications.
Commission discussion described one request involving property adjacent to a de‑annexed parcel near the Goodman Energy Center, where the requester already owns property on both sides of the right‑of‑way. Commissioners noted such a configuration may not affect other property owners but emphasized the need to check utility locations and easements before any action.
Another inquiry concerns a long block between Kansas and Montana (between 15th and 16th), which commissioners described as an "extra wide" block with interior lots and historic mobile‑home park remnants. Staff and commissioners said formal addresses and a complete, written request will be needed to evaluate vacating any portion of alleyways or rights of way, and that any vacation would require a recommendation from the planning commission followed by whatever legal and utility reviews are required.
No formal action or vote on vacation petitions occurred at this meeting; staff will follow up to locate property addresses and any recorded easements, then report back when a formal petition is submitted.
