1
A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING THE VACATION OF CERTAIN
DEDICATION ON THE PLAT OF UNION CEMETERY ADDITION.
WHEREAS, on or about June 16, 1983, the owners of Union Cemetery
Addition to the City of Salina submitted a petition to the Saline County Clerk
requesting that the Board of County Commissioners of Saline County vacate the
dedication on a portion of said Union Cemetery Addition;
WHEREAS, said petition for vacation appears to be based upon K.S.A.
12-504 and, whereas, said Statute requires recommendation from the Governing
Body for vacation of dedications on properties located within the corporate
limits of a municipality;
WHEREAS, on February 22, 1982 and April 5, 1982, the Salina City
Commission, meeting in formal session, and after considering evidence and
hearing testimony on petitions similar to the June 16, 1983 petition, voted not
to recommend approval of said petitions;
WHEREAS, the question of removal of certain dedication on the plat of
Union Cemetery Addition to the City of Salina has been over the recent past a
cause of considerable public controversy and misstatement and misinformation as
to fact and circumstance;
WHEREAS, on September 12, 1983, after public notice, the City
Commission held a public hearing on the petition dated June 16, 1983;
WHEREAS, the Salina City Commission believes that granting the
vacation requested in the petition dated June 16, 1983, is not in the public
interest;
WHEREAS, notwithstanding the City Commission's conviction that
granting said petition is not in the public interest, the City Commission believes
it is fitting and proper that the petitioner be given the opportunity to fully
exercise all legal rights permitted under Kansas Statutes.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Salina City Commission
recommends to the Board of County Commissioners of Saline County that the
petition dated June 16, 1983, for the vacation of the dedication of a portion
of platted land in the Union Cemetery Addition to the City of Salina be
granted or denied at the discretion of the Board of County Commissioners of
Saline County.
Adopted by the Board of Commissioners and signed by the Mayor this
12th day of September, 1983.
