Recorded in the minutes as: “a. Third Reading of Ordinance #968 – Vacation of Street Right-of-Way – NE 52nd Court Murray/ Motion: to approve the Third Reading of Ordinance #968 – Vacation of Street Right-of-Way – NE 52nd Court. Assistant City Manager/Community Development Director Madeline Sturms explained that the City has received a request from Elder Corporation to vacate and dispose of the NE 52nd Court right-of-way. The vacation of this street right-of-way would remove its status as public roadway and would allow for the separate process of disposition where the property would be considered for sale to adjacent owners. Transfer to adjacent owners is the only available option in this case as the property is not large enough to be buildable on its own. Both adjacent owners were notified prior to the public hearing. There are multiple steps required in the process and two public hearings are required. The first of which is for the vacation of the subject right-of- way, and another subsequent public hearing will be scheduled for the consideration of property disposal through a purchase agreement. The City Planning and Zoning Commission considered the request at their regular meeting on March 2, 2026, and unanimously voted to recommend approval of the request. City Council then approved the first reading of the ordinance after a public hearing at their regular meeting on March 24, 2026, and the second reading was approved on April 14, 2026”.
