FROM: Charles Haball, City Attorney
Janes H. Patrick, Manager
SUBJECT: Abandonment of .Alleyway in Block 1 of Ryke y Addition
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, January 3, 200— Work Session
BACKGROUND: Michael Blend has petitioned. the City to abandon a dedicated
alleyway located between 14thStreet East and 18thStreet East, and north of the
Western Ace store, Mr. Blend owns the property to the east and west of the
alleyway, The alleyway is unimproved and is only a segment on the block neap that
does not extend to the streets. Therefore7 it really does not have any useful purpose
to the City as an alleyway.
Pursuant to statute, the property owners abutting the alleyway to the north
and south were contacted with the petition. All owners signed the petition agreeing
that the alleyway should be abandoned.
This matter v.ill be placed on the agenda for the Council's approval or
disapproval after a notice of such agenda item is published, as requixed by statute.
After receiving public comment, f any, the Council will consider whether or not the
alleyway can be abandoned without detriment to the public interest. If se,
resolution will be passed abandoning the alleyway. The resolution will there be
recorded with the Flathead County Clerk and Recorder S Office.
After that point, I would advise the City to quitclaim its interests in the
property to Michael Blend for fair value, retaining easement rights for utility uses,
if needed.
