7.1) Vacation of an Alley in Block 4 of Elmhurst Addition
Public Works Director Faulkner reported on the petitioned request of Stewart Grange for the
Vacation of the alley within Block 4 of the Elmhurst Addition. He explained that Mr. Grange
currently has a fence within the alley, and he has been informed that the fence must be removed.
The reason for the Vacation request is that Mr. Grange desires to relocate the fence only five
feet, which would place the fence on that portion of the alley that would be attached to his
property by the County. He noted that if the Vacation would be approved, drainage and utility
easements would be maintained over all of the alley for use by the utility companies which have
facilities in the alley.
Mayor Johnson opened the public hearing for testimony.
There being no one wishing to appear before the Council to give testimony, Mayor Johnson
declared the public hearing closed.
Motion was made by Councilmember Stein, and seconded by Councilmember Black, to adopt
