SUMMARY STATEMENT:
A Vacation Right of Way application to vacate a portion of an unnamed City alley which separates multiple
parcels under single ownership. The City does not have any known utilities within the alleyway area subject
to be vacated. Access to the subject properties from Pine St. shall be prohibited. All parcels will continue
to have access from either Roosevelt or Louisa Ave.
There is public interest in improving Roosevelt Park, which is located where the alley is platted. The
Kempthornes propose to donate $30,000 to the City to help fund improvements to Roosevelt Park and to
make up for the potential to use this section of platted alley for pedestrian or other recreational purposes. If
the Park improvements are not completed on or before December 31, 2021, the Kempthornes will be entitled
to access and use the remaining available funds to complete the Park improvements pursuant to the final
approved design, or as much of the uncompleted Park improvements as the remaining funds permit.
At its December 10, 2020 regularly scheduled meeting, the McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
held a properly noticed public hearing and unanimously recommended the applications for approval by
McCall City Council. Two letters of support were received in support of these applications.
Attached are the staff report, Findings and Conclusions, escrow agreement, parks donation agreement, and
application materials.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Conduct the Public Hearing
2. Approve Vacation of Right of Way application VAC-19-01 as recommended by the McCall Area
Planning and Zoning Commission and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
3. Approve Parks Donation Agreement and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
4. Approve Escrow Account Agreement and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
