Josh & Julie Pickard 104 West 78 Street
Brian Nustad 7791 Erie Avenue
Paul Oehme: Thank you Mayor, City Council members. This application is to consider the
vacation of an alley way located at 7791 Erie Avenue. The subject property is shown on this
th
sheet here. The alley way is on the north side of the property. 78 Street is located here and 101
is just to the east. This alley way is dedicated for a number of years. The City does not have any
need for this alley way nor do the surrounding properties. There is a sanitary sewer located at
this facility. We are recommending that the right-of-way be vacated at this time and a 10 foot
drainage utility easement be dedicated at the time that the property is developed. The subject
property here is shown at this location. The property is currently vacated. The property owner’s
th
looking at developing a single family home. Access will be provided off of 78 Street, thus no
secondary access is necessary off of the alley on the north side. Again it’s an 8 foot alley way
that would be vacated. A 10 foot drainage utility easement would be required at the time that the
property is developed. 39 properties were notified of this public hearing for the vacation of the
alley way. I recommend that a public hearing be opened at this time to consider the vacation.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Any questions for staff?
