Subject: An Ordinance amending City Code Chapter 54 to close and vacate certain unused public alleys within
the City, for Second Reading.
Purpose of Item:
An Ordinance amending City Code Chapter 54/Article 1 entitled "Streets and Sidewalks/In General" to close
and vacate certain unused public alleys within the City.
This item passed on First Reading at the May 8, 2014 Commission Meeting.
Background Information:
There are numerous public alleys within the City that have not been paved and are not utilized for vehicular or
pedestrian access including public service and emergency vehicles. These alleys may present a security and
illegal dumping problem for abutting property owners and are difficult to properly maintain by city forces.
Adoption of this Ordinance will revert the ownership, maintenance and liability of these certain alleys to the
abutting property owners, thereby enabling owners to secure their property and maintain the alley as part of
their yards. The reversion of ownership will also increase the size of the abutting property and possibly the
appraised value of the land. An easement will be automatically reserved in the alleys vacated by this section for
installation, maintenance and operation of existing and future utilities.
