DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council follow the recommendation of the Planning
Commission to approve an Ordinance to vacate the alley.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Nicholas Kanaan, a property owner at 585 N. Columbus Street
and James Carr, a property owner at 583 N. Columbus Street are co-petitioners asking to vacate
an approximately 150-foot long section of platted alley adjacent to their respective properties. The
recorded but completely undeveloped alley segment runs north-south of Victory Road and abuts a
total of five (5) properties owned by four (4) different property owners. The continuation of the
alley to the north of this segment was previously vacated. The proposal is to vacate this remaining
alley segment and incorporate the vacant land into the neighboring properties. The total area of the
proposed vacation is approximately 2750 square feet.
The platted alley is highlighted on the aerial photo below. The alley starts north of the UDOT
right-of-way on Victory Road and runs approximately 150 feet to the north. The applicant’s
reason for the request is based on the alley being platted but never having been developed. The
area is filled with tall weeds and the alley could likely never be developed based on the steep

3. Original Petition
,,,
S:lgnatnreh&e
The previous Alley Vacation / Closure Request document was reviewed and
approved by all parties who own land adjacent to the proposed alley vacation/
closure request
The alley is located on a steep sloping hill side that is currently fallow with weeds
and grasses overgrowing it and unused. Due to the steep topography, this alley is
completely unusable and cannot be accessed by a vehicle safely. The alley has never
been in use, and does nothave potential for future use. There are no city structures
or improvements on the alley, and as such it seems there is no utility to keeping this
small plot of land as an alley any longer.
The alley is located off of Victory Road between Ensign St and Columbus St and has
width of 20', length on West of127.5', length on East of 150', and a total area of
2612.5 square feet (please see attached SIDWELL and PLAT maps.
