    Elm Avenue alley vacation

    Discussed

    The applicants cite public safety and lack of use for vacating part of a City-owned alley near Elm Avenue and 1000 East. Planning staff had recommended a negative recommendation, but the Planning Commission forwarded a positive one, citing lack of use. Staff said structures were built in the alley without approval and that the ordinance would not authorize them; owners would need lot line adjustments, and an access easement would be needed for Rocky Mountain Power lines. An applicant described the history and said neighbors and the Police Department supported it. A hearing was set for Oct. 5.
