INITIATED BY Depanment of Commun ity Development STAFF SOURCE Lee Merkel , Director of Community Development COUNCIL GOAL Economic Development ISSUE/ACTION PROPOSED Staff seeks Council suppon for the Bill for Ordinance on first reading to vacate th e South • Clarkson/South Emerson alle y in the 3400 bl ock South (Block 45 , Evanston Broadway Addition). PREVIOUS Pl.ANNING COMMISSION ACTION Non e. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION None . BACKGROUND Craig Hospital and Swedish Med ical Center, owners of all propenies adjacent to this right-of-way , have filed a joint request for vacation of this alle y. The Utilities Depanment has sugsested that the applicants ass ume ownership and maintenance responsibilities of a sanitary sewer line which is locat ed in th e all ey; th e applican ts have so agreed . PROS AND CONS OF OP TIONS REVIEWED Vacation of the alley will facilitat e the development of a transitional care• facility proposed for Craig Hospital patients . • If the alley is not vacated, it will impact the proposed development of a therapeutic and recreational area for the patients of Craig Hospital th at will be housed in the transitional ure fa c ility . STAFF ANALYSIS The request for vacation of this alley right-of-way is a joint l'equest by Craig Hospital and Swedish Medical Center, the owners Qf all property adjacent to the subject alley right-of-way . Craig Hospital owns Lots 1 through 13, and Lots 41 through 46, Block 45 , Evanston Broadway Addition. Swedish Medical CPnter owns Lots 14 through 40, Block 45 , Evanston Broadway Addition . Since the applicants are the only adjacent property owners and the traffic that uses the alley is generated predominately by Craig or Sw:!dish, the proposed vacation will have minimal effect on the adjacent neighbo rhood . In addition , the proposed Craig Planned Dewlopnient has been designed to convert a portion of this alley right-of-way into open space ,o be used in conjuncti on with their rec rea!ional therapy programs . Vacation of the alley will eliminate the potential fo r patient/vehicle conflict if the alley were to remain open to general use . The appl ica nts have agreed to accept ownership of the sewer line. However, since there are other utilit ies in the alle y and future traffic signal control lines may be located in the vacated right-of-wa y, a utility and drainage easement should be retained . FINANCIAL IMPACT The applicants have agreed to assume ownersh ip and maintenance responsibilities'for the sanitary sewer line in this alle y, thus relieving the City of the financial responsibility to maintain the sewer line . ccll-94 • •
