BE IT ORDAINED by the Governing Body of the City of Salina, Kansas:
Section 1. Petition and Public Hearing. On February 2, 2016, the Salina City Planning Commission conducted a public hearing (“Public Hearing”) on the petition filed by Salina Regional Health Center ("Petitioner") requesting vacation of Wayne Court in the Wayne Addition in the City of Salina, Saline County, Kansas, more particularly described as follows:
Right-of-Way Vacation Description:
A portion of Wayne Court right-of-way, in the Wayne Addition to the City of Salina, Saline County, Kansas being more particularly described on the attached and incorporated Exhibit A and depicted on the attached and incorporated Exhibit B (the “Right-of-Way”).
Section 2. Findings and Conclusions. The Governing Body determines from the evidence presented:
(A) Due and legal notice has been given by publication as required by law.
(B) With the Petitioner’s grant of an access easement, emergency access to the east side of the Southgate Professional building and the west side of the Salina Regional Center Family Practice Clinic will be maintained. Fire Department access to a fire hydrant between the buildings will also be maintained.
(C) The proposal to convert Wayne Court from a public street to a private access drive with an access easement would not change the existing traffic flow and pattern, only ownership and maintenance responsibility would change.
(D) Wayne Court is not needed to provide public street access and/or footage to any developed or undeveloped parcel. Vacation of Wayne Court as a public street would not affect the developability of any property.
(E) No private rights will be injured or endangered by the proposed street closure and right-of-way vacation. The rights of public and franchise utilities will be protected by retention of the vacated Right-of-Way as a utility/drainage easement.
(F) The general public will suffer no loss or inconvenience if Wayne Court is closed as a public street and the Right-of-Way is vacated because an access easement will preserve vehicle access to adjacent properties.
