The council approved two ordinances vacating the Jacob Flemming minor subdivision to allow a 13‑unit townhome project and vacating Lot 2A of the Tyler & Marilee Shiner amended minor subdivision to reallocate portions into adjacent parcels and create a sale parcel.

City Attorney Michael Harrington explained that, pursuant to state law, a municipality may vacate a recorded subdivision by ordinance to permit redevelopment.

Harrington also presented Ordinance No. 2026-05 to vacate Lot 2A of the Tyler & Marilee Shiner Amended Minor Subdivision to divide the lot into three portions: the northern and central pieces would be incorporated into the Marcella Meadows Subdivision (joining property owned by the Shiners and the Morris family) and the southern portion would remain a separate parcel anticipated for purchase. Tyler Shiner explained that access to the northern and central portions would be through the adjacent residential properties. Both ordinances passed unanimously.
