TITLE
Recommendation to receive supporting documentation into the record, conclude the public hearing, find that the area to be vacated is not needed for present or prospective public use, and adopt resolution ordering the vacation of the westerly 613 feet of Sixty-Eighth Street. (District 9)
DISCUSSION
The westerly 613 feet of Sixty-Eighth Street is bounded on the north and south by the BelArt Waste Transfer Station owned by Consolidated Disposal Services (CDS), and terminates (dead-ends) at the boundary of the Union Pacific rail right-of-way. In 1998, CDS received approval for the improvement of their facility and in February of 2007 they received permission to install a 20,000 gallon liquefied natural gas tank to supply their fleet of 30 LNG-powered refuse collection vehicles.
As a condition of approval for development, CDS was given the choice of either widening Sixty-Eighth Street to current street standards or obtaining a vacation of that right-of-way.
In pursuance of the street vacation, CDS constructed a standard cul-de-sac at the proposed new terminus of 68th Street. As the westerly 613 feet of street is not needed for access to any other property and the cul-de-sac has been satisfactorily constructed, it is proposed that the westerly 613 feet of this street now be vacated as shown on Exhibit A.
On April 24, 2007, the City Council adopted Resolution No. RES-07-0054, declaring its intention to vacate the subject right-of-way and set June 12, 2007, as the date for the public hearing. On June 12, 2007, the hearing was continued to July 17, 2007, to allow time for all of the project conditions to be met. The April 24, 2007, and June 12, 2007, City Council letters are attached as Exhibits Band C, respectively. The proposed resolution was prepared by Deputy City Attorney Lori A. Conway on March 22, 2007
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
The date of this public hearing was set by City Council action.
FISCAL IMPACT
A final vacation processing fee of $2,000 was deposited to the General Fund (GP) in the Department of Public Works (PW).
