The vacation procedures for this action were taken as part of the Planning Commission recommendation of .. July 2, 1997 and the City Council approval of September 22, 1997. The replatting process for the redevelopment of this area would technically vacate and replat the necessary roads all at the I same time. However, based on the number of participants in this redevelopment process and its complexity, it is now felt a resolution vacating the right-of-way would eliminate any questions from these various participants prior to the questions arising. I As before, the City does not wish to vacate the right-of-way until it is assured that the new right- of-way will be in place. Therefore, the resolution and the plat should be filed consecutively so I that no gaps in access will occur and the ownership of the right-of-way for Gateway Boulevard should be transferred to the City. I Recommendation The Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 97-55, vacating a portion of the 14th Avenue Northeast right-of-way, subject to this resolution being consecutively filed with the recording of I the Plat of Gateway Addition (as approved in Planning Case 97-06) and the ownership of the replacement right-of-way (Gateway Boulevard) being transferred to the City.
