In <br /> that discussion, I informed you that I have been asked to become <br /> involved with this issue in the hopes that I can help resolve the <br /> problems associated with you gaining a legal access for a relocated <br /> house at 1565 Jefferson Alley. <br /> In short, 1565 Jefferson Alley is a land- locked parcel between 16 and <br /> 17 avenues, and the only public access that is available is onto an <br /> unimproved portion of the Jefferson Alley. You have had difficulty in <br /> Parks and Open ettin the necessary permits for the house you moved onto this <br /> property due to not having an improved public access available to the <br /> Parks Maintenance property. <br /> Urban Forestry <br /> Various staff up to and including the City Manager have met to discuss <br /> Wetland a nd Open the issues around this situation. It is our opinion that a permanent terwa <br /> y solution to this issue needs to be determined. In our evaluation of the <br /> situation, there appear to be four options. <br /> 1. Sell the property in question to one of the abutting land <br /> owners. <br /> In my conversations with the abutting neighbors, their preferred <br /> resolution would be for you to sell the property in question to one of <br /> them. I do believe there is some level of interest on the part of the <br /> neighbors in doing this. In my conversations with you, it seems the <br /> barrier to this solution may well be a difficulty in coming to agreement <br /> on a fair price for this parcel. You have told me that to recover your <br /> costs for acquiring the property and relocating it, you feel you would <br /> • need approximately $80,000. <br /> 2. Process an alley vacation and establish a new alley to <br /> the west of the existing alley. <br /> In my conversations with the abutting neighbors, there is some level of <br /> interest in this option. The barrier to this option may be the cost and /or <br /> 1 <br />
