Dated this day of K'k 19' Printed tame . Si ture Nam , C Sig e Minutes of Planning Commission April 12, 1999 Page 4 NEW BUSINESS VA99-4: VACATION RNCIC-GOVERNMENT, PP561 This item was submitted by Virginia Middleton on behalf of the Regional National Cemetery Improvement Corporation for property located at 903 South Government. The property is zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential. The request is to vacate a portion of a 10 foot alley lying contiguous to the west side of lot 10 and the east side of lot 11 in Dowell's Addition. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the vacation. Commission Discussion Johnson: Items 3 and 4 are both vacations submitted by the same person for the same National Cemetery. Does staff have anything additional? Conklin: There are no comments. There was no objection to the vacation by the utilities companies or the City. Johnson: We toured this site at agenda session last Thursday. I think if you will look in your packet at page 3.3, perhaps that gives a clearer view of the property that is owned by the Cemetery and you will see, at least according to the drawing of the Dallas Addition, that the National Cemetery already owns lots 10 and 11 . Is that correct? Conklin: That is correct. Johnson: One of the alleys to be vacated is located between two lots already owned by the Cemetery. Conklin: That is also correct. Johnson: Then the other portion of the alley which is west of lots 13 and 14 is not contained within the Cemetery Association. When we were on site on Thursday, we were told that there was one neighbor who had some concerns and some questions. Staff, I understand that neighbor contacted you and said those concerns were answered and he now agrees with the proposed vacation. Is that correct? Warrick: I talked to that person and that is correct. Minutes of Planning Commission April 12, 1999 Page 5 Johnson: Is the applicant here? Probably for this kind of project, it is not necessary that the applicant be here. Are there questions or comments from any of the members? Public Comment Marla Hargess was present and inquired as to the procedure to vacate the portion of the alley adjoining her property. Mr. Vinson provided her with his business card to contact him regarding her request. MOTION Mr. Ward made a motion to approve VA99-4. Mr. Estes seconded the motion. Johnson: This is a vote is merely a recommendation that will go on to the City Council. Is there discussion of the motion? Roll Call Upon roll call, the motion was approved by a unanimous vote of 8-0-0.
