Alley vacation off Wilmington Avenue near 800 East
Discussed
Staff described a petition to vacate part of a city-owned alley next to properties on the 800 block of East Wilmington Avenue. The alley segment has long served as a driveway and is blocked by a gate, the remaining section is covered by a separate petition, and an existing utility agreement would remain. Planning recommended approval. Members asked who would own the vacated land and about community response.

Alley vacation off Wilmington and Elm Avenues near 827 East
Discussed
A second petition would vacate another alley segment and divide it among abutting owners on Wilmington and Elm Avenues. Staff said fences and grade changes already make it impassable to vehicles, vehicle access to properties closer to 900 East would not change, and planning recommended approval. Members asked what would happen if the petition were denied and about access; the applicant said the alley is not needed for getting around because TRAX is a block away, and owners on both sides favored the vacation.
