Wheatland council agrees to pursue vacating part of North Street behind 112 W. Vine St.
Summary
Council agreed to move forward with vacating the portion of North Street behind 112 W. Vine St., noting the city will not extend the street east because of a creek and that a utility easement must be retained for sewer lines.
The Wheatland City Council agreed April 14 to proceed with vacating the section of North Street behind 112 W. Vine St., directing staff to pursue the vacation while retaining a utility easement for existing sewer lines.
Council members said the city will not extend North Street to the east due to the presence of a creek, and discussed the need for an easement because sewer infrastructure runs through the affected area. The meeting record does not show a formal roll-call motion or final ordinance adopting the vacation; minutes state the council "agreed to move forward."
Earlier in public forum, resident Dick Rowold asked about purchasing the portion of North Street that runs behind and between his properties; the clerk said she would contact the city attorney regarding adding an easement for utilities as part of any sale or vacation process.
The council did not record a final sale, price, or ordinance at the April 14 meeting; next steps include legal review and any formal vacation or sale process to be placed on a future agenda for final action.
