Council to have city attorney review ordinance after garage/easement question
Summary
Alderman Forney raised resident Robert Tietz's request to build a garage on vacated property; Mayor Finnegan said a permit is required and that once vacated the property is no longer an easement. City Attorney Elizabeth Blood will review the ordinance.
Alderman Forney asked about Robert Tietz being able to put up a garage. Mayor Finnegan responded that a permit needs to be filled out and said the ordinance states he cannot build on the easement/vacated property; the mayor then clarified that "once it is vacated, it is no longer an easement." City Attorney Elizabeth Blood said she will look into the ordinance.
The transcript records this as a procedural question about permitting and easements rather than a formal appeal or vote. Attorney Blood's review was the only follow-up direction recorded in the minutes; no permit action or enforcement decision was recorded at the meeting.
