B. Resolution No. 1250, A Resolution Setting a Public Hearing and
Initiating Proceedings to Vacate Section of Alley Right-of-Way
Located in a Subdivision Known as the Oak Park Addition, Adjacent
to Tax Lots 2400 and 2500 on Jackson County Assessor's Map
372W03DC
Community Development Director Tom Humphrey stated that the proposed
resolution sets a public hearing in order to vacate a section of right-of-way
located in a subdivision known as the Oak Park Addition, adjacent. to tax lots
2500 and 2400 located on Jackson County Assessor's map 372W03DC.
In the past the Council considered using this right-of-way as a commuter rail
platform. Staff and business owners agree that a more likely location for a
platform would be a few hundred feet north where parking and access would be
much better.
The majority of this right-of-way has been vacated to various property owners
over the years. The vacated lands would revert back to the abutting properties.
This right-of-way is no longer used by the city as an alley. If approved the public
hearing will be set for the March 25, 2010, Council meeting.

Mr. Humphrey explained that this resolution sets a public hearing to vacate
portion of Oak Street between Amy Street and South Haskell Street. If approved
the public hearing would be set for the March 25, 2010 Council Meeting.
This section of Oak Street has an existing eighty foot right-of-way. It is proposed
that 30 feet on each side be vacated leaving a 20 foot right-of-way for the city to
allow for ingress-egress to the abutting properties.
The Rogue Creamery and Rapp Racing have both stated that they would like to
expand the footprint of their buildings. The property owners in the area have
agreed to the vacation. Once completed the property would revert back to the
adjourning property owners and be added to the tax rolls.
