SUBJECT: ALLEY NORTH OF SOLEDAD CANYON RO D AT RUETHER AVENUE,
PROPOSED VACATION
Resolution N49112
DEPARTMENT: Public Works 1
BACKGROUND
At the hearing of September 8, 1988, the City Council denied the proposed alley
vacation and directed staff to check with the Public Works Department for
further input and to open up the alley to thru traffic. Following our
discussions with the property owners, staff presented additional information to
the Council on 'January 8, 1990 and the matter was once again referred to staff
for more input on the legal implications -of the City's previous decision and for
possible.options.
Staff has now made numerous -contacts with the City Attorney and with some of the
parties involved to try to find possible alternatives. Also, staff has met at
the site with a sub -committee of the Council to present these alternatives and
additional information.
Because there are other options to opening the entire alleyway to thru traffic,
the fact that the owners did not appear at the original hearing, and the desire
by the sub -committee to have the entire Council consider this matter, the.
sub -committee did recommend that staff prepare the necessary resolutions for the
setting of a new hearing date.
That the Council adopt Resolution No. 91-22 declaring the City's intention to
vacate the alley north of Soledad Canyon Road at Ruether Avenue and setting
March 13,.1991 as the hearing date on this matter.
