PUBLIC HEARING
Mayor Jackson declared the public hearing open on the vacation of the East/West
alley right-of-way, lying adjacent the south line of Kirchner Hill Second
Addition
It was reported that the hearing had been duly published and all affected property
owners within 300' feet had been notified of meeting
Mr. Max Bigby, Assistant Planner, stated " .City Council has allocated $40,000
of 1985 CDBG funds for the development of the 5th & Pearl park site The 20'
alley right-of-way, separating the park site from residential development is
unimproved, but contains a City sewer line and underground electrical and cable
television lines
A full width (20') public utility easement needs to be retained if the alley
right-of-way is vacated This will allow the City and private utilities to maintain
their respective underground systems If the residential property owners agree to
deed the north half of the alley back to the City, the entire alley right-of-way
can be added to the park and improved accordingly If one or more property owners
choose not to deed their property to the City, the park could only be developed to
the centerline of the alley. While the property owners would have an additional
10-feet of property, the required easement would place them at risk if they wanted
to fence their new property area

REGULAR MEETING JULY 1, 1985
PUBLIC HEARING - Continued
Because Block Grant funds would be used to develop the park site, the City
could agree to construct a new six-foot board fence along the north alley
line in return for property owners deeding the north half of the alley to
the City The fencing is only possible if all of the property owners deed
their property to the City "
Mr William Talbott, 736 Leola, stated the proposed vacation would deny him
alley access to his property, however, he might be receptive if the City
would provide a curb cut to his property off 7th Avenue
Mr Martin Koleber, 708 Leola, favored the vacation as an improvement to the
area
Ms Cathy Daughery, 716 Leola, favored the vacation as the alley is a "mess"
as it presently exists
Councilman Snider asked about the possibility of putting a gate at each
property owner's property so that they would have direct access to the park
Following three (3) calls from Mayor Jackson for further comments from the
floor, either for or against, the Public Hearing was declared closed

NEW BUSINESS

Appeal - Administrative Decision on Short Plat ME #85-19-SP) Mr Max Bigby,
Assistant Planner, stated " The apartment complex was originally constructed
as a single development under one ownership Apparently, two lending institutions
became financially involved in the development The proposed short plat would
seem to divide the property so each could secure that portion of the property
they have an interest in
The proposed plat does not comply with local regulations governing off-street
parking and requiring lot frontage on a public street, and therefore, cannot be
administratively approved The applicant has appealed to the City Council in
the manner provided by PMC 21 40 100
The applicant's counter offer for short plat constitutes the only way the property can
be divided into two parcels and come anywhere near meeting local regulations. "
A communication from Worley Surveying Service, representing Frontier Federal Savings
& Loan Association and Pacific First Gederal Savings & Loan, offered the following
rebuttal " Frontage on a public street for Lot 2 - the present configuration
of the Short Plat does not satisfy the requirements of PMC 21 24 050 In order to
correct this deficiency, Frontier Federal will convey the north 60 feet of Lot 1
to Pacific First Federal Frontier Federal will retain an access easement as well
as the use of existing parking facilities located within the 60' strip
Offstreet parking for Lot 2 - as required by PMC 22 84 010 (40 spaces for Lot 2),
however, we feel that the 36 spaces constructed on Lot 2 are in compliance with the
requirements of PMC 22 84 050, and as such, adequate parking has been provided "
Councilman Morgan stated he felt this was a problem to be worked out by the
two lending institutions
Mr Snider moved the Council concurs the proposal does not comply with local
regulations and, therefore, the short plat be denied Seconded by Mr Schmidt
Motion carried
