Request to Vacate a Portion of Front Street <br />Mike Loven informed the Council that Beverly Rathcke is requesting that a <br />portion of Front Street that runs between her properties be vacated. The <br />request has to do with the access that was recently closed on Highway <br />371 and Front Street. Mike noted that the Attorney has preliminarily <br />reviewed this and has suggested that the City needs to decide if vacating <br />the road is in the best interest of the public and whether or not the City <br />should initiate the request. Mike Loven recommended that the City vacate <br />the road to the property line of the City property. He explained that the City <br />is currently maintaining the road which leads to a turnaround on the <br />`- Rathcke property. <br />Council Member Ryan questioned whether it is in the best interest of the <br />City to vacate the road until there is a road plan for the City.
