BOARD OF CITY COMMISSIONERS
CITY OF SALINA
Re: Alley first west of Santa Fe Avenue between Republic Avenue
and Beloit Avenue
Gentlemen and Mrs. Cooper:
Attached please find the past history of pe'titions and the action
taken by the City Commissioners on above alley. There is no indication
in the records that th, is alley has ever been closed or vacated.
The Kansas Power and Light Company, Southwestern Bell Telephone
Company and Salina Cable TV System, Inc. are occupying this alley under
their franchise agreements at the present time.
It appears that Lots l, 3, 9 and ll'are using this alley for
entrance into their garages. Lots 5 and 7 enter from Santa Fe Avenue
through a ten foot (10') curb cut that used to be an east-west alley.
There are no other curb cuts on Santa Fe Avenue;
Mr. Bassett called the owners who reside adjacent to the above
alley' and explained to them that garages built backing on this alley
.were a violation; and that this topic was discussed at the last City
Commission meeting. They were advsied that i.f the alley was vacated,
one-half would be their property and one-half would go to the school.
The opinions of these residents are as follows:
Mr. and Mrs. John Warders - Lot 1 - 1000 South Santa Fe Avenue .-
The owner of Lot l, Hr. Warders, resides in Manhattan, Kansas.
The renter of this propertY was contacted and he advised that
the owner did not want the alley vacated.
Gentlemen and rqrs. Cooper

Mr. Richard Bennett - Lot 3 - 1002 South Santa Fe Avenue
Mr. Bennett stated that the alley is used to gain access to his
garage and rear parking.
Mr. John D. Goben - Lot 5 - 1006 SoHth Santa Fe Avenue
Mr. Goben said that even though he signed the petition, h'e did not
want to move his building. He did not realize that the alley would
be divided between the resiclents and the school. If the alley is
not going to be vacated, Mr. Goben would like to have it open for
traffic so he would not have to place his garbage cans on Santa
Fe Avenue.
Mr. and Mrs. Gale German - Lot 7 - lOl2 South Santa Fe Avenue
Mr. and Mrs. German stated that as they did not use this alley,
its vacation wouldn't affect them but they did not want to move
their garage.
Mr. Allen Archer - Lot 9 - lO14 South Santa Fe Avenue
Mr. Allen Archer lives at 622 Highland and owns the above property.
'tie advised that he does not want the alley closed because it is
used to reach the garage on the property. He stated that there
is no access from Santa Fe Avenue to the garage.
.Respectfully submitted,
