Title
Ordinance closing Right Of Way on Church Street
Body
SUMMARY: This item covers the complete closure of Church Street from the intersection of Burnett Street to the intersection of Cother Street. A portion of this section of Church Street was closed in the 80s behind the bank, which is now City Hall. The City Council at that time required a legal description for the closure. The closure was never added to the tax roll, but was recorded in the Register of Deeds office. Mr. Flynn requested that the remainder of the ROW be closed and turned over to him in the attached letter. In researching the legal description of the closure, it did not extend far enough to the south to include the curve leaving the lower parking lot of City Hall. Mike Stump has surveyed all of the City Hall Property and all of Mr. Flynn’s property.
The Director of Engineering recommends full closure of the ROW with the yellow gate being the division between the portion going to the City Hall Property and the portion going to Mr. Flynn as shown on the attached map “ROW Closure Map”.
Once the closure has been approved through an ordinance, the City and Mr. Flynn would record a survey showing the properties as a whole as shown on the attached map “Final Boundary for Properties”. Mike Stump has surveyed all of the City Hall Property and all of Mr. Flynn’s property and is prepared to produce the necessary descriptions and drawings.
