Public Hearing: Spectro Alloys, Inc. Administrative Plat and Right -of -Way
Vacation
Chairperson Droste opened the public hearing scheduled at this time to hear public testimony
regarding the administrative plat and right -of -way vacation request of Spectro Alloys, Inc. The
recording secretary has placed the Affidavit of Publication and Affidavits for Mailing Posting of
Public Hearing Notice on file with the City.
Assistant Planner Pearson related the history of this right -of -way vacation request. He stated that
staff concluded that a replat is necessary because the property is already platted and simple metes and
bounds legal descriptions are not appropriate. The building on the site is currently straddling 3 lot
lines causing many setback encroachments that are non conforming. Mr. Pearson stated that this is
basically a "housekeeping measure" which will solve many of these setback problems by combining
the original six lots into one. He mentioned that the City Attorney has recommended this lot
combination.
Dan Holkus, representing Spectro Alloys, Inc. and the surveying consultant for Spectro Alloys, Inc.
were present to answer any questions.
