Resolution Setting a Public Hearing on a Road Vacation; 2. Notice of Public Hearing; and 3. Resolution Vacating a Portion of Front Street. The City Council will need to set a Public Hearing through the adoption of the enclosed Resolution Setting a Public Hearing on a Road Vacation with a 4/5 vote of all members of the City Council. Once that Resolution has been adopted then the City will need to publish the Public Hearing Notice at least two weeks prior to the hearing. In addition written notice of the Public Hearing must be mailed to each property owner affected by the proposed Road Vacation at least 10 days before the hearing. The mailed notice must include a copy of the Resolution Setting a Public Hearing on a Road Vacation, a copy of the Notice of Public Hearing and the proposed Resolution Vacating a Portion of Front Street. Given that this is not a platted street the affected property owners would at a minimum be the property owners that abut the section of Front Street that is proposed to be vacated. I would also suggest that notice be given to the balance of the property owners abutting Front Street located north and east of Highway 371. I requested from Chad Conner a proposed legal description for the section of the street to be vacated. When we receive that from Chad that will need to be inserted in the documents. There
