Proposed Vacation - Unimproved 30' wide segment of 3rd St N ROW
Subject:
Mark Van Oort, 301 20th Avenue North has written me requesting the city vacate the 30'
wide x 135' long section of the 3rd Street North right of way between 19th and 20th
Avenues. Mr. Van Oort would like to add on to his home and needs this property to
accommodate the addition, Although a vacation would result in his neighbor to the
south receiving the land, apparently he has an agreement with his neighbor to acquire
the property, There are no utilities in this section of right of way and there is a
significant grade change that, coupled with the narrow width and adjacent homes,
would preclude any vehicular roadway or alley through the property. However, our
review of the area did reveal that pedestrians use the right of way area, presumably to
access the south end of Hilltop Park, So, there is at least the potential that this public
property could serve a purpose in allowing a pedestrian route from the neighborhood
area east of 20th Avenue to Hilltop Park,
Staff would suggest that a letter be sent to the residential area to the east that is most
likely to use this access to Hilltop Park (1ih _19th Ave, 2nd - 3rd St) explaining the
vacation request and why the city is requesting their input. We would then make a
recommendation to City Council based on the response to the letter. The alternative
would be to deny the Van Oort request based on the proximity of the right of way to
Hilltop Park and the current and potential future public purpose as an improved or
unimproved pedestrian way,
Staff suggests we request input from the neighborhood area before proceeding, as
mentioned above,

Re: Vacation of Property
Hello Steve,
We are interested in adding on to our house. To accomplish this we would like the city to
vacate the property next to our house, Please see the accompanying map for details.
If vacated the property would go to our neighbor. We have come to an agreement with
him should the land be vacated, I
Thank you,
Mark Van Oort
