"LOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY It was moved by Hitchcock, seconded by Larson, to deny the request because there is a drain sewer that runs from the street directly into a river bed. Craig pointed out the vacation was a commitment made by the Council when it was rezoned and as a part of the apartments going in. He noted one property owner adjacent to this had been wondering for the last few years what had happened to the commitment the Council had made. Craig said he had talked with Mr. Schuler and he had looked it up in the minutes and confirmed the Council had made the commitment. Craig noted also the property owner was not interested in building on it but rather to alleviate his concern about the traffic from the apartment complex. He felt unless the Council did some- thing it,would be begging for trouble. He added he could see why the Council would not want to vacate it to let him build on it,and suggested if the Council did not want to vacate it maybe some barricades could be put up so no traffic could go through there. Hitchcock stated a road could not go through there because it would run into the apartment house. Craig asked what objection the Council would have to granting the request; what was the rationale for denying the request. Hitchcock responded because of the sanitary sewer. Craig wondered 'why this could not be kept by the City and not allow the applicant to build on it. Hitchcock asked what the commitment was that the City made. Craig said it was a commitment to vacate the alleyway. Schuler added that at the time the commitment was made one of the concerns of: the property owners was the motorcycles that go through there. He said since this was a public alley there was no way they could be stopped from running the motorcycles through. Schuler noted even if the City put a barricade up the motorcycles could still go through the open area into the -1- 388 AUBURN WASHINGTON MONDAY NOVEMBER 16 1981 greenbelt. Hitchcock said he had looked at the property and he wondered how they could drive a motorcycle into the area because there was no place to go. Lea suggested the Street Committee's recommendation to deny was before some of: the things which had been discussed a this meeting came to light. He wondered if some further discussion would be beneficial. Hitchcock and Larson withdrew their motion and second. It was moved by Lea, seconded by Craig, to refer the request for vacation of, alley right-of-way on loth Street N.E. back to the Street Committee.. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 3.
