Title
Resolution of Intent to Vacate Two Segments of Seybold Drive Adjacent to the Proposed Ann Arbor Housing Commission North Maple Road Development, 701 N. Maple Road (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
The Ann Arbor Housing Commission requests the vacation of two segments of unimproved, platted Seybold Drive right-of-way to allow their North Maple Road site to be fully redeveloped. Currently, a 120-foot long segment of the platted Seybold Drive right-of-way extends into the site from the north and a 30-foot length extends into the site from the south. The middle 330-foot length of Seybold Drive was vacated in 1969 as part of the original Housing Commission development on this site. Vacation of the requested additional segments will make the site whole.
Project Management and Systems Planning Unit staff concur that this street vacation is acceptable because these segments do not serve any other platted lots or contain any public utilities serving any other lots.
Approval of this resolution announces the City's intent to vacate the described unimproved segments of the Seybold Drive right-of-way and serves as notification that City Council will hold a public hearing on this vacation on August 18, 2014. A resolution to approve the vacation also will be scheduled and placed on the August 18, 2014 Council agenda.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 17, 2014 and recommended approval of the proposed street vacation. A map indicating the area proposed for vacation is attached.
