ORDINANCE NUMBER 14-10757
AN ORDINANCE ORDERING THE VACATION OF A PORTION OF A TEN FOOT (10') ALLEY
ABUTTING LOT FIFTY-ONE (51) ON FRONT STREET AND LOT ONE HUNDRED THREE (103) ON
SECOND STREET IN THE ORIGINAL TOWN (NOW CITY) OF SALINA, SALINE COUNTY,
KANSAS.
y BE IT ORDAINED by the Governing Body of the City of Salina, Kansas:
Section 1. Petition and Public Hearing. On November 17, 2014 the governing body conducted a public hearing
("Public Hearing") on the petition filed by CWW Enterprises, LP. ("Petitioner") requesting vacation of the
following described public alley:
A portion of a 10 foot north -south alley beginning at point 141.35 feet north of the north right-of-way line
of Iron Avenue and ending at a point 151.35 feet north of the north right-of-way line of Iron Avenue
abutting Lot Fifty-one (5 1 ) on Front Street and Lot One Hundred -three (103) on Second Street in the
Original Town (now City) of Salina, Saline County, Kansas.
Section 2. Findings and Conclusions. The governing body determines from the evidence presented:
(A) Due and legal notice has been given by publication as required by law.
(B) The public will suffer no loss or inconvenience by the vacation of the alleyway because the vacation of
10 ft. x 10 ft. square of the alley only impacts the grocery store property and will not impact access to
the properties to the north. No public or franchise utilities are located in the alley, except for a public
sanitary sewer line and a public utility easement is being retained for this sewer line.
(C) No private rights will be injured or endangered by the requested alley vacation because the Petitioner
owns the abutting property on three (3) sides of the portion of alley requested to be vacated and alley
access to the properties to the north will still be available.
(D) Injustice to the Petitioner, vacation of the ten foot (101) by ten foot (10') portion of platted alley should be
granted because the continued presence of the ten foot (I0') by ten foot (10') alley right-of-way no longer
serves a public purpose and the continued presence of the ten foot (10') alley right-of-way in this location
has been identified as an encroachment by the Petitioners title company.
(E) The public interest is promoted by the vacation of the public alley because it would allow the Petitioner to
obtain clear title to the grocery store property.
Section 3. Order of Vacation. A portion of a 10 foot north -south alley beginning at point 141.35 feet north of
the north right-of-way line of Iron Avenue and ending at a point 151.35 feet north of the north right-of-way line of
Iron Avenue abutting Lot Fifty-one (5 1 ) on Front Street and Lot One Hundred -three (103) on Second Street in the
Original Town (now City) of Salina, Saline County. Kansas is hereby ordered vacated.
Section 4. Reversion of Alley Right -of -Way. Because CW W Enterprises, LP owns the abutting property on the
west, east and south sides of the proposed vacation area; ownership of the vacated alley area shall revert back
entirely to the owner of Lot Fifty-one (5 1 ) on Front Street and Lot One Hundred Three (103) on Second Street in
the Original Town (now City) of Salina.
Section 5. Retention of Public Utility Easement. The vacated alley right-of-way legally described in Section 3.
above is hereby ordered to be retained as a Public Utility Easement for the existing sanitary sewer line.
Section 6. Recording. For the purpose of recording this ordinance with the office of the Saline County Register of
Deeds, this alley vacation relates to the tract of real property described as Lot Fifty-one (5 1) on Front Street and Lot
One Hundred Three (103), on Second Street in the Original Town (now City) of Salina, Saline County, Kansas.
