City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Hicks & City Councilmembers
From: John Hinzman, Community Development Director
Date: June 18, 2018
Item: Order Public Hearing– Vacation of ROW #2018-24 – Adams Street (3rd Street to
Lake Isabel) - Helget Council Action Requested:
Order a public hearing to consider vacating a portion of the Adams Street Right-of-Way
(ROW) between 3rd Street and Lake Isabel as requested by Mike and Jackie Helget,
owners of 1020 East 3rd Street. Upon action by the Council, the public hearing and final approval would be scheduled for the July 9, 2018 City Council Meeting. A simple
majority is necessary for action.
Background Information:
History – The Helget’s recently purchased 1020 East 3rd Street located at the southwest
corner of 3rd and Adams Street and have demolished the home in order to construct a new
home on the site.
Existing Condition – A portion of the eastern half of the 66’ wide ROW was vacated previously to accommodate a home located at 1022 East 3rd Street. The eastern half of
the ROW presently contains a 14’ public roadway and utilities. There are no
improvements or utilities on the western half of the ROW (where the vacation is
requested).
Proposed Condition – Vacate the western half (33’) of the ROW adjacent to the
roadway. The width of the vacation would be reduced to 13’ wide between Lake Isabel
and the end of public roadway to maintain a 20’ ROW to preserve access to the lake.
Vacation Procedure – Hastings Home Rule Charter Section 7.05 regulates the vacation
of streets and alleys. The City Council may consider vacating public ways upon
published and mailed notice to affected property owners.
Recommendation – Approval of the vacation is recommended. The proposed area does not contain any public utilities and the City does not have plans to extend Adams Street
further south. The preservation of a minimum 20’ ROW corridor would maintain public
access to the lake.
