The City reconstructed Oak Avenue in 1996. <br /> In preparing the plans and specifications for this construction the City found out that the existing <br />. Oak Avenue was built outside of the existing right-of-way for Oak Avenue. The City Council <br /> determined that the general alignment of the existing Oak Avenue should be maintained. <br /> Therefore, additional right-of-way from this property owner was required. Additionally as part <br /> of this right-of-way realignment excess right-of-way became available. To which, the City is <br /> now proposing to vacate said excess right-ot:way. Lastly, with the new right-of-way the <br /> existing garage for the Shepley's house became non-conforming. Therefore, the City agreed as <br /> part of the right-of-way acquisition to consider the granting ofa variance for the applicant's <br /> garage. <br /> Recommendation <br /> The Staffrecommends adoption of Resolution 98-40, vacating a portion of the Oak Avenue <br /> right-of-way, per the approval of Planning Case 98-08. <br />. <br />
