THE CITY ENGINEER reported on Petition Number 3652, filed by Lyle and
Anna M. Lightfoot for the vacation of the west 10 feet of Front Street between
North Street and the Rock Island Railroad right-of-way, adjacent to Lot 1, Block
7, Northeast Industrial Park.
''Front Street has been vacated for street purposes from the Atchison -
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad north to the Union Pacific Railroad and retained as
a utility easement only. This vacation makes Front Street a dead-end street
from North Street to the Santa Fe Railroad with an eighty (80) foot right-of-
way. Because this part of Front Street is a dead-end street and all utilities
both public and private are within a sixty (60) foot area, I would recommend
that ten (10) feet of right-of-way be vacated from both the east side and the
west side of Front Street from the north line of North Street to the south line
of the Santa Fe Railroad. This would change the right-of-way from eighty (80)
feet to sixty (60) feet on a common center line.''
A motion was made by Commissioner Simpson, seconded by Commissioner
Weisgerber to accept the recommendation of the City Engineer and approve the
petition, and to introduce the vacating ordinance for first reading. Ayes: (5).
