Molner STAFF SOURCE: Harold J. Stitt, and Linda Unger, applicants. Senior Planner COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: There has been no previous Council action on this request. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve, on first reading, the Bill for Ordinance vacating the north 16 feet of right-of-way for West Jefferson Avenue between South Bannock/South Chero- kee alley and South Cherokee Street. BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED: Ms. Maxine Molner and Ms. Linda Unger own property at 3642 South Cherokee Street, which property abuts the right-of-way for West Jefferson Avenue. Over the past several years , Mr. and Mrs. Molner have registered complaints with the City in relation to this right-of-way; specifically, the right-of-way was unim- proved and vehicles using the right-of-way to and from the alley created severe dust problems ; drainage onto the Molner's property has also been an issue be- cause of the topography. The City has worked with the Molners to resolve these issues by construction of a berm and the proposed paving of a portion of the right-of-way. West Jefferson Avenue is not a through street between South Cherokee Street and South Bannock Street, and the City of Englewood has no plans to create a through street. This portion of West Jefferson Avenue does provide access to the South Bannock/South Cherokee alley, but a 50 foot right-of-way is not needed for this access . .. Public Works Department has proposed improving West Jefferson Avenue with concrete pavement 24 feet in width, and vacation of the north 16 feet of the • unused right-of-way. The 24 foot paved right-of-way will provide adequate ac- cess from South Cherokee Street to the South Bannock/South Cherokee alley. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The 16 feet of right-of-way that is being vacated will revert to the property owner on the north, and will go on the County tax rolls . The City will no longer be responsible for maintenance of this 16 foot area.
