• Frank Dem se rovided back round information and stated that staff along with
p Yp g
Commission member Skipton had met with Ernie Darflinger, a neighboring
property owner, who had expressed opposition to the alley vacation.
Mr. Dempsey stated that current City policy requires that the entire alley be
considered for vacation instead of the small portion being recommended by staff.
However, due to the considerable amount of time which would have to be
dedicated to the vacation of the entire alley and in light of the opposition expressed
by two property owners which abut the alley, staff recommends. that only the
portion of public alley adjacent to Mr. Craig's property on Lot 1, Block 22 be
vacated on the condition that an easement be retained over and across the vacated
alley for drainage and utility purposes. Mr. Craig has properly signed an easement.
Mr. Dempsey stated that Mr. Wahl has requested to withdraw his building setback
variance and alley vacation applications Mr. Wahl has signed and staff is in
agreement with an encroachment agreement to allow Mr. Wahl's garage to remain
in its non-conforming setback until such time as the garage is destroyed or
removed. Any new building would then be required to meet the minimum setback
requirement from the side and rear property lines. The encroachment agreement
would allow the garage to remain on the property while not legitimizing the non-
conforming setback with a variance.
• Mr. Wahl and Mr. Craig were present to answer questions of the Commission and
the public.
The Commission, City Attorney and staff held a brief discussion.
There was no public comment.

the withdrawal of their application and acknowledged receipt of the signed
encroachment agreement.
