On VACATION August 17, 1981 , the City Council held a public hearing to consider an application to vacate a portion of 101st Avenue S.E. At the conclusion of the hearing it was determined that before a decision was made on the vacation, it would be necessary to determine action on the Kirkham Short Plat situated adjacent on the south to the requested vacation of 101st Avenue S .E. The Council deferred action on the vacation pending action by the Short Plat Committee on the Kirkham Short Plat. An information packet has been fur- nished by the Planning Department noting that the Kirkham Short Plat was approved on May 27 , 1982, and that among the conditions of approval is an implied consent for the applicants to use Crow Road for access to the Plat. With such access permitted the Planning Department now recommends: approval of the proposed street vacation. Dan Moorman stated that he and Robert Clemens were the owners of the property in the Kirkham Short Plat and asked that the approval of the street vacation be delayed until after the plat was recorded. He explained that when B & R Development purchased the property, the portion of 101st S .E. in question was a deeded right of way and that the purchasers were aware of this . He stated that he had at first supported the vaca- tion request, but that the petitioners had not fulfilled an agreement and the matter was now the subject of legal action. He questioned whether it was in the best interest of the public to give up this right of way. He noted that he was delay- ing recording the Kirkham Short Plat on the advice of his attorney, due to pending litigation. Upon Bailey 's question, Harris noted that the plat would now be allowed access to Crow Road upon the owners' agreement to an LID to improve Crow Road. He pointed out that when this matter was considered last year, access to the Crow Road was denied and 101st Avenue S.E. was the only access available for the plat. Ruth Ruppoert spoke on behalf of the applicant, B & R Development, and noted that she owned half of Lot 3 - 4 - June 7 , 1982 STREET and was administrator for the owners of the remain- VACATION ing lots. She stated that the applicants intended to build condominiums and wanted this portion of 101st vacated for safety purposes, since the con- cept of the ring road was no longer feasible. Upon Ruppert' s question, Wickstrom explained that if the vacation is denied, Moorman' s property would have access to 101st provided he agreed to improve the road but if the vacation is granted, this use would become void for Moorman. Heavey determined for Bailey that it was no longer neces- sary to link the plat with the street vacation and that the vacation could be granted prior to the recordation of the short plat. Ruppert stated she had not been notified and Harris explained the misunderstanding which occured over the Short Plat Committee meeting time. Leahy noted that he would support the vacation in view of the staff recommendation and the City Attorney' s statement that the plat and vacation should not be linked. He MOVED to approve the vacation and for the City Attorney to draft the required ordinance. Bailey seconded. Upon Bite- man ' s question, Moorman reviewed his position. Harris noted that the matter of litigation between these two parties had nothing to do with the Council ' s decision, and upon Mooney' s question, he affirmed that the staff supported the vacation. Motion carried unanimously. FINANCE (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 5B) Bills . APPROVAL of payment of the bills received through June 3, 1982 after auditing by the Finance Committee at its meeting of June 15 , 1982 at 4 :00 p.m. COUNCIL Parks Committee.
