gaining the code - required agreement from all abutting property owners. While you would need to review the specific code requirements with the Planning Department, in general some of the requirements would be: a. 100% agreement of all abutting property owners; b. 2/3 agreement of all neighbors within a rectangular zone that would be defined as centered on the alley, extend 200 feet both to the east and west, and would extend 400 feet from both the north and south end of the alley; c. The immediately abutting property owners would be required to purchase, at fair market price as determined by an appraisal, all the area between their existing property line and what would become their new property line at the east side of the relocated alley; d. A survey would be required and subsequent legal description prepared, Not including item c and d above, my understanding is that alley vacation fees would be in the range of $1,600.00. 3. Purchase a permanent non - exclusive access easement from the City of Eugene on the park property to serve as legal access to your parcel. It is estimated that such an easement beginning at the end of 16 Avenue and extending to the north across the frontage of your property would cost approximately $7,500. 4. Develop the existing alley. While this seems to be the least preferred option by all parties concerned, it still is a legal option that you can pursue. While I have not researched this matter in depth, I would anticipate the total costs for this option to be greater than the total costs of option three but less than option two. It is my understanding that options two through four would gain you the needed access to the property. I have done no research to see what other permits or requirements you would need to obtain or satisfy in order to make the house available for occupancy. These are issues I would recommend you research in making your decision about which option to pursue. 2
