Aldermen approve vacation of unused alley with utility easement reserved for Spire
Summary
The board approved Bill 7920 to vacate an unused alley in Connolly's Addition and reserved a public utility easement for Spire; staff said the alley has been unused for decades and the petition would allow better development use by the applicant.
The Board of Aldermen moved Bill 7920 forward and enacted Ordinance 7657 to vacate an unused alley right-of-way in Connolly’s Addition. City staff explained the alley dead-ends at railroad tracks, has not been used for decades and that the petitioner seeks the vacation to facilitate development related to a construction business on adjacent parcels.
Staff noted one condition: the vacation would reserve a public utility easement so Spire could maintain its gas-line facilities. Council members asked clarifying questions about the historical layout and whether the city proactively evaluates other underused alleys.
