Council refers petition to vacate utility alleys to planning commission after assessor explains missing signatures; motion passes 5–1
Summary
Council referred a petition to vacate multiple utility easements to the planning commission after city assessor Jessica Graser explained two parcels lacked signatures; council voted 5–1 to refer and set a public hearing process.
Council considered item 7.2, a petition to vacate utility easements adjacent to multiple lots and moved to refer the petition to the planning commission for review and a public hearing. City assessor Jessica Graser told the council this was her first appearance and explained the petitioner’s intent: to vacate alleys so most parcels could be combined, while two parcels lacked signatures.
Graser said the petitioner had contacted the unsigned property owner and that the planning commission would schedule a public hearing so that owner could be heard. A council member asked whether the unsigned owner had been notified; Graser said contact had been attempted by the petitioner but the city had not directly spoken to that owner. After discussion the motion to refer and set process passed on roll call, "Motion passes, 5 to 1."
