PUBLIC HEARINGS I
MAYOR JACKSON DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO CONSIDER THE VACATION
OF CERTAIN PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY WITHIN THE CITY, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE
SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF "A" STREET AND OREGON AVE
(DNR Street Vacation Petition - ME 85-09-V)
It was noted that the Hearing had been duly published and posted There were
no written communications
Mr Max Bigby, Assistant Planner, reported " The right of way DNR proposes to
be vacated appears to be unnecessary to the public need Half of the Melrose Avenue
right-of-way has already been vacated under Ordinance No 1750 The apparent reason
for the request is to create a marketable industrial property for DNR, to replace in
part that which was lost when the City acquired a 100-foot easement to develop
Oregon Avenue The City paid $8,128 for the Oregon Avenue easement, which may or
may not have included damages for rendering the property undevelopable
Apart from damages, the City had to pay a fair value for the Oregon Avenue easement
To be equitable, DNR could pay a fair value for Melrose Avenue and alley right-of-way,
as provided by State Statute Staff requests additional time to compile more research
on the City's options on this matter prior to a final decision The actual research
would cover these items costs associated with acquisition of Oregon Avenue
right-of-way, assessment of DNR Easement Agreement #38610, and statutory IIIobligations governing alternative decisions "
