SUBJECT: Roger Yackel Petition - Clement Street Vacation
At the regular Council meeting on February 2Uth, the City Council considered
Mr. Yackel's petition for street vacation. Obviously the Council did not have
much information or background on which to base any decision, therefore they
requested further study by Howard Dahlgren and the Planning Commission. Your
findings and recommendations should be forthcoming as soon as convenient.
A number of related items were noted, such as:
1. At one time the Parle and Recreation Commission expressed a desire
to acquire the Yackel property for park purposes. Is this still
viable? Is it desireable? Should a second access be provided
into the east end of Wentworth Park?
2. The Somerset 19 people are desirous of permanently closing off
Clement Street. Should this petition be looked at favorably i.n
light of their desires?
3. If the answers to the above questions are negative or adverse,
should the Council proceed with a hearing to consider vacation
for Mr. Yackel's purposes?
Your thorough discussion and fact finding on this matter is requested by
the City Council so that they can more intelligently consider the matter in
the near future.
