INTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM '
RECEIV�D
To: Ron Maddox, Council President AUG 141g81
and Members of the City Council
From: J. William Donovan C,T� �;������
Valuation and Assessment Engineer
Date: July 15, 1981
Sub�ect: Petition of Roger Bonfe for the va.cation of part of
the alley in block bounded by West 7th, Forbes, Leech
and McBoa.l Streets �
Public Hearing - August 11,. 1981
The petitioner, Roger Bonfe, sta.tes he is the owner of all properties
that abut that part of the alley proposed for va.cation. Mx. Bonfe wishes
to purchase and build over pe.rt of the proposed va.cated area. The area
to be vacated is att improved alley 16 feet wide and 125 feet in length, �
consisting of 1,625 square feet and is zoned B-3•
The Department of Public Works originally recommended denial unless the
petitioner deeds and improves an area for proper turn-a.round for emergency,
maintenance, and other public vehicles. Hvwever, after a field meeting
with the petitioner, the Public Works Department agreed to a condition
requiring the petitioner to provide adequate turn-a.round during norma.l
working hours. The Public Works Depa.rtment also mentioned tha.t the va.-
cation would improve the traffic conflicfis at Smith and West Seventh
Streets.
The Police Department states that the other residents in the block may have
some access difficvlties with reflzse pickups or l�rge truck deliveries if
said petition is granted.
, i � .
• The Depa.rtment of Planning and Economic Development sta.ted the same general
concerns as the Police Department. , �E �
k
Mr. Bonfe has reviewed the comments on sa.id proposed va.cation f�om the
Depa.rtments of Public Works, Planning and Economic Development, and Police,
and he agrees that if the proposed vacation is approved he will fence in
the area and permit, by opening the ga.tes, access throu�h his property during
norm�.l workin� hours. This would eliminate a requirement for a turn-around,
or difficulties for reflzse pickup or large trucks for deliveries, or ar�y
other emergency vehicle to egress across said proposed vacation site.
Northern States Pc�wer Compar�y reports that two poles with overhead conductors
are located within the proposed va.cation area, They request that their
interest be protected.
NortYiwestern Bell Telephone Compar�y reports ha.ving an underground facility
f�om West Seventh Street into this alley, and then at the first pole in the
alley there is an aerial ca.ble serving the customers in this block; there-
fore, they wish to continue their utility easement in this alley.
