Council considers vacating alley in Lankford subdivision to adjacent property owner
Summary
The council discussed an ordinance to vacate an alley in the Lankford subdivision to a property owner (identified in the transcript as Mike Danckworth) and agreed any vacation must be subject to utility locates and that utilities must be relocated at the owner's expense if present.
The council introduced an ordinance to vacate an alley in the Lankford subdivision and transfer the alley to the adjacent property owner. Staff noted the alley sits on land owned by a private property owner, identified in council discussion as Mike Danckworth, and that the city would need to confirm there are no utilities before completing a vacation.
The chair suggested an amendment to condition the vacation on the absence of utilities in the area and said that if utilities exist and the petitioner still wants the vacation, the petitioner would have to move them at their own expense. "We can amend the motion to say that we would vacate in the end of the outage subject to there'll be, no utilities in the area," the chair said. Council then moved and carried the motion on the item during the regular agenda.
Council members emphasized the need for 811 locates and for the petitioner to handle relocation costs if necessary; staff also noted any formal ordinance would be prepared for final action consistent with that condition.
