Council sets July 7 hearing to consider vacating 25-foot right-of-way near 3rd Street/Cedar
Summary
Council passed Resolution 2026-06 to set a public hearing on 2026-07-07 to consider vacating a 25-foot public right-of-way adjacent to Carquest and nearby lots; staff said the ROW appears unused, overgrown and likely contains no utilities.
Staff described a request from neighboring property owners to vacate a 25-foot public right-of-way near 3rd Street and Cedar that is overgrown and appears to run into the back of existing developed lots. City staff and the city attorney explained that vacating the ROW would require a public hearing; if vacated, adjacent property owners would each receive a 50/50 split of fee title to the land.
City Administrator Webb said the right-of-way "is overgrown" and "there's no existing pavement" and recommended setting a hearing for July 7, 2026 at 4:00 PM so the city can determine whether to vacate and transfer title to adjoining owners. Council adopted Resolution 2026-06 setting the hearing; staff will verify presence or absence of utilities before the hearing and notify adjoining landowners of the process.
Council discussion noted the property owner had reported tree limbs and wanted the fence issue resolved; staff said vacating could allow the owner to manage trees and maintenance rather than require city action.
