080 of 1982 - Policy encouraging neighborhood petitions to vacate alleys & fee waiver qualifications `1. R 82-18
RESOLUTION NO. 80 OF 1982
(Policy encouraging neighborhood
petitions to vacate alleys - and
fee waiver qualifications)
WHEREAS, the City Council of Salt Lake City is concerned
about the deterioration, neglect, and adverse impact of those
alleys presently dedicated for public purposes in residential
neighborhoods where the alleys seldom now serve the purposes for
which they were originally intended; and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to reaffirm and protect the
City's interest in its public streets, alleys or highways which
have been dedicated for public purposes; but
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined it is in the best
interests of the City to encourage and vacate alleys in resi-
dential neighborhoods wherever the alleys are not needed, where
vacation is practical, and shall eliminate adverse impacts; and
where abutting property owners join in such vacation petitions;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council would like to encourage neighbor-
hoods to prepare and submit neighborhood-supported petitions
proposing practical solutions for vacating unnecessary alley ways
to eliminate adverse impacts upon the neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, to implement this support, the City Council is
willing to provide an incentive of waiving fees already
associated with the process of reviewing and considering vacation
petitions submitted by neighborhoods dealing solely with the
vacation of alleyways for a period to extend until June 30, 1983.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Salt
Lake City, Utah:
1. That the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah, hereby
reaffirms the resolution and policies contained within Resolution
29 of 1978, passed by the former City Commission of Salt Lake
City, Utah, on or about the 23rd day of May, 1978. This
Resolution specifies the policy, process, and factors requiring
identification and consideration of requests to vacate the City's
interests in public streets, alleys or highways.
2. That to provide an incentive to encourage neighborhood-
supported petitions to alley vacation, the City Council of Salt
Lake City, Utah hereby adopts a special fee waiver policy. It is
hereby resolved that all petitions requesting the vacation of
alleys in residential neighborhoods filed on or before June 30,
1983, shall qualify for a special waiver of the filing fees
($100), but will not apply to a waiver of advertising fees which
may be imposed, should a public hearing be required during the
review process. (This waiver extends only to those petitions
solely involving the vacation of alleyways in residential
neighborhoods and shall not apply to any other petitions
involving the vacation of alleys within commercial areas nor the
vacation and/or closure of streets, etc.) All filing or other
related fees involved with the process of considering a petition
or request for vacation and/or closure of public ways, streets,
or thoroughfares, including filing, advertising, deed
preparation, etc., shall remain in full effect for petitions
which do not qualify for the waiver. Said fees will also be
applicable to any petitions that are not completed and filed with
the City on or before June 30, 1982.
Passed by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah,
this 7th day of September , 1982.
