|
| | | | | | | | Description
Resolution to vacate and dispose of the east/west alley abutting Lots 5 and 6, Block 2, Bayliss 2nd Addition. Location: Alley abutting properties commonly addressed as 129 S. 8th Street, 732 and 734 Willow Avenue. SAV-24-001 |
|
| | | | | | | | Background/Discussion
Update: on Friday, June 28, 2024, the City of Council Bluffs was made aware by the Pottawattamie County Auditor’s Office that the subject alley is a privately owned driveway for the benefit of all three abutting properties and is not a platted alley. This information was discovered in the deeds for the abutting properties. Since this is a privately owned driveway, the City of Council Bluffs will not complete the process to vacate and convey the alley to the adjacent landowners.
See attached staff report. |
|
| | | | | | | | Recommendation
The Community Development Department recommends withdrawing the resolution and cancelling the public hearing as the subject alley is a privately owned driveway for the benefit of all three abutting properties and not a platted alley. |
