Receive
public comment regarding the closing of right-of-way of 5th Avenue
between Walnut and Pine Streets
Sorority located on the corner of
Walnut and 4th looking to expand to the south over 5th
Avenue. Requires the purchase of southern properties and the construction of an
alley so that a route connecting Walnut and Pine will remain. The street has to
be vacated by a district court before the title would revert to the property
owners.
Roger Gose said the sorority has
bought the two southern houses, and requested a delay in closing the road until
more details were worked through.
Phi Mu Vice President of
Committees Christine Evans spoke about the space availability in the current
house.
Sue Sumpter was curious about how
the sorority’s expansion would affect the value of her property on Pine Street,
and would like to see another street built instead of an alleyway. Paul
Minasian also had questions regarding the alleyway and the parking situation.
Development Services Director
Paula Dennison presented the specifications for an alleyway, and verified it
would be paved. While the existing street allows parking, the new alley would
not. The staff recommended approval of the request with specific conditions.
