HEARING REQUIRED: Public
SUMMARY:
The City has received a request from Anthony L. Terhaar Enterprises, LLC, to vacate a portion of the 400 Block of 11th Avenue between LaRua and Belmont Streets. The applicant has indicated the reason for the request is to attain the highest and best use of the property and to preserve and increase the property values in this area of East Hill. If granted, the additional ten (10) feet will allow the applicant to construct two single family attached structures instead of one single family detached structure. This request is consistent with a previous vacation of 11th Avenue to the North and will make the easterly property lines consistent within the southern-most two blocks of 11th Avenue.
This request has been routed through the various City departments and utility providers and those comments are attached for your review. Staff has been made aware that utilities are present within this right-of-way area and a full width easement has been included in the proposed ordinance.
On May 14, 2019, the City’s Planning Board unanimously recommended approval of this request.
