Paving request for 1718 George Street tabled while ownership and alley vacation are clarified
Summary
The board tabled a resident's request to pave a half‑block alley parking pad at 1718 George Street until Aug. 5 to resolve ownership, alley‑vacation and neighbor‑consent questions.
Chad briefed the board about a decades‑old concrete pad at 1718 George Street that residents have been using for parking but which sits in a city alley. He said the pad has deteriorated and the homeowner asked to asphalt over it; staff cautioned the board that approving paving without resolving ownership or a formal alley vacation could create disputes if adjacent owners claim a share of the alley.
Board members discussed options: vacating the alley so ownership splits between neighbors, asking the owner to pursue a legal vacation or tabling the matter to gather maps and make sure property owners are present. The board voted to table the request until Wednesday, August 5, and asked staff to provide a flat map showing lot lines and the location of the slab before the next meeting.
