Body
Issue/Request:
This application is to vacate all of SE Oldham Court and a portion of SE Oldham Parkway located at its intersection with SE Oldham Court. The subject right-of-way is surplus property obtained by the City from MoDOT in 2002. The City has no use or need for the right-of-way. The City has sold the surplus property with a commitment to vacate the right-of-way that encumbers it.
The request for vacation of right-of-way was sent to the City’s Public Works and Water Utilities Departments, as well as the private utility companies, for their input. There were two objections to the requested vacation by the AT&T and KCP&L utility companies. No other objections were received.
