The applicant is acquiring the abutting property on both the north and south sides of the right-of-way. The right-of-way is unimproved and does not provide access to abutting lots. No public or private utilities extend through the alley and, therefore, no easements will be required upon vaca- tion. Staff finds no public purpose in retaining the right-of-way and, has no objections to the vacation of this property. Section 409.25 of the Code of Iowa, states that upon vacation of an unimproved alley which contains no public utilities, the property reverts automatically to abutting properties. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the vacation of the east -west alley extending between South Gilbert Court and South Van Buren Street, in Block 3, Lyon's First Addition, be approved.

KARR, CIiY CLERK ?/S� City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: September 18, 1986 To: Planning and Zoning Commission From: Barry Beagle, Associate Planner Re: Section 36-58(b)(4) Ordinance Amendment On August 12; 1986; the City Council acted to refer the proposed amendment to Section 36-58(b)(4) back to the Commission for further consideration. Once it was determined that the fraternity at 711 E. Burlington Street could satisfy the parking requirements without benefit of an ordinance amendment, the Council desired further input from the Commission regarding the recognition of trees as a feature limiting the provision of additional parking. As the Commission will recall; on June 5, 1986, the ordinance amendment failed to receive a favorable on by a vote of 3-3 and was referred to the City Council with no recommendation. The proposed amendment did not recognize natural features as limitation to the provi- sion of additional parking except for a tree(s) measuring 10 inches in diameter where not required to be removed. The attached ordinance amendment is substantially the same as the previous amendment considered by the Commission with the exception of the language concerning natural features and trees being excluded. /sp 7W :l aq MIME NO.
