Title
Consider an ordinance vacating, abandoning, and closing streets located on the tracts of land on which the Kalahari Resort is to be located. (First Reading)*
Body
This is a city-initiated action on city-owned land to facilitate development of the Kalahari Resort.
The surveyor on Kalahari's engineering team discovered right-of-way, known as Brushy Road or Old Highway, traversing part of the property. Although the right-of-way is obsolete and has never been used by the city, it appears on a subdivision plat for the Bertil Telander Subdivision (also known as the Boyles Tract) from 1986, as well as a survey of the Swenson properties from 1874, and therefore must be vacated to provide a clean slate for the Kalahari Resort and associated improvements. Future legal access to the properties adjacent to the old right-of-way will be provided by the extension of Harrell Parkway and a new public street to be named Kalahari Boulevard.
