BY: Dean Boyer BY:
Petition No. 3844 - filed by Gary Ward, requesting the vacation of the
East ten (10) feet of right-of-way on North Seventh Street, adjacent to Lots
3 - 7, Block 9, Calkins Addition to the City of Salina.
Seventh Street was platted in this addition as an eighty (80) foot wide
street and is currently classified as a local street. Local streets require
only a sixty (60) foot right-of-way and thus the vacation of the requested ten
(10) feet would still meet the minimum right-of-way requirements for a local
street.
The utility companies (Kansas Power & Light Co.; Salina Cable Television
Service; and Southwestern Bell Co.) state they have no need to retain the East
ten (10) feet of right-of-way on Seventh Street. There are no existing public
sanitary, sewer lines or watermains in the request area.
In order to eliminate the creation of a mid -block offset in the right-of-
way line, we contacted the owner of Lots 1 & 2, said Block 9, to determine if
he would have any objection to expanding Petition No. 3844 to include a ten
(10) foot vacation adjacent to his two lots. He agreed to this suggestion.
We, therefore, recommend the vacation of the East ten (10) feet of Seventh
Street, adjacent to Lots 1 - 7, Block 9, Calkins Addition to the City of Salina
be granted to allow the petitioner more flexability in developing this
commercial site.

Re: Sale of Park Tend
Dear Bill:
In my letter to you of January 16th I indicated to you that the
abstractor was unable to determine the status of the City's title to the
following parks:
(1) . Tract No. 2 (Ex. F)
(2). Park No. 1 (Ex. G)
(3) . Park No. 5 (EX. H)
In researching the files in the Clerk of the District Court I find
that on the 27th day of October, 1937, the City of Salina, Kansas,
adopted Resolution No. 708 determining it necessary to acquire certain
property to widen portions of Olive Street; that thereafter and on
November 8, 1937, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 714 whereby
they determined it was necessary to acquire Tract No. 2 for this purpose
and directed the land be acquired. This real estate was acquired
pursuant to G.S. 1935, 13-1023 which authorizes cities of the first
class to acquire private property by condemnation for street and other
public purposes. The condemnation proceedings were held pursuant to
G.S. 1935, 26-201 to 26-210, inclusive. Section 26-204 provides in part
as follows:
"The title to land condamned by any city for
parks, parkways or boulevards shall vest in such
city upon publication of the resolution of the
governing body condemning the same. Upon the
recording of a copy of said report so certified in
the office of the Register of Deeds of the county
the right to possession of lands condemned shall
vest in the city and the city shall have the right
to forthwith take possession of, occupy, use and
improvement said lands for the purposes specified
in the resolution appropriating the same."
MEMBER ... KANSAS LEAGUE OF MUNICIPALITIES • NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES
Mr. Bill Harris
January 23, 1979
Page 2
Our courts have consistently held that eminent domain statutes
will be construed to authorize only the taking of an easement on or
title to land sufficient for the public use intended rather than the
fee title, unless the statute clearly so provides, either expressly
or by necessary implication. In the case of Sutton v. Frazier, 183
Kansas 33, the court held that "In an eminent domain proceeding unless
the statute authorizes the condemning authority to take the title to
the real estate in fee simile, it is clear that no language in the
record of such proceeding can enlarge or extend the power of the con-
demning authority beyond the limits prescribed by law'.
In the case of Skelly Oil Co. v. Kelly, 134 Kansas 176, the
court held that a city condemning land for park purposes under the
provisions of RS 26-204 acquired fee simple title; however, the
court in that case stated "The legislature, however, deemed it im-
portant to insert a special provision relating to vesting of title
in case of condemnation for parks, parkways and boulevards. This
vesting of title is unqualified. The provision is not that on
publication of the condemmation resolution title shall vest for parks,
parkways and boulevard purposes. The provision is that, when land
is condemned for parks, parkways and boulevards title vests on the
publication of the resolution. There is no conatation that title
shall vest while or so long as the land is used for park purposes
and the court hold that in this instance the city acquired a fee
simple without so called possibility of reverting to former owners."
In view of statutes under which Tract No. 2 was acquired and
the above court decisions I am of the opinion that in the above men-
tioned condemnation proceeding the City of Salina acquired an ease-
ment in this property for road purposes and does not have the fee
title so as to be able to convey merchantable title to this property.
In regards to Park No. 1 and Park No. 5, the records in the
office of the Clerk of the District Court of Saline County, Kansas,
indicate that the State Highway Commission, of the.State of Kansas
in Case No. 14,784 condemned these tracts for highway purposes. RS 68-
413, 1933 Supp. authorizes the State Highway Ccnmission, the name of the
state, to acquire title by purchase, donation or dedication or the
exercise of the right of eminent domain for road purposes. The statute
further provides that "the State Highway Commission may dispose of any
real estate or any right, title or degree or variety of interest therein
as it may deem expedient or necessary whenever the commission determines
that such real estate or interest therein is no longer needed or used
for highway purposes and may exchange the right -of -Fray to be abandoned
for new and other right-of-way; provided, that when any road on the
State Highway system is vacated the land or interests or rights therein
acquired by the State Highway Commission for the right-of-way under the
provisions of this section, unless disposed of as above provided, shall
revert to the present owners of the land of which it was originally a
part."
It would appear frau the above mentioned language that under that .
statute the State Highway Commission of Kansas would acquire a fee title
Mr. Bill Harris
January 23, 1979
Page 3
to the property and would be able to dispose of that portion of the real
estate not needed for road purposes. Mr. Robert Frederick, President of
Lynn Abstract Company, advises me that he finds nothing in the records
which would indicate that the State of Kansas haG ever divested itself
of title or has ever made any conveyance of this property to the City of
Salina, Kansas. In view of this, apparently the title to this property
is still vested in the State of Kansas and the City of Salina would have
no right to sell the same.
It appears that the City of Salina has been using these properties.
for approximately the last forty years for park purposes under some
color of title. I would assume that the City could, by resolution,
determine that these tracts were no longer necessary for park purposes
and sell whatever interest it may own in these properties. If this is
done it should be clearly understood that the City would make no war-
ranty as to title and that any conveyance of this interest would be made
by quit claim deed to the purchaser, which would convey only the in-
terest the City actually had in the property.
If you desire that I do anything further in the above matter,
please advise.
very truly yours,
