Mayor Hinkle declared the public hearing open. Bud Houlton was present to indicate his concern that plans to develop his farm- land are unknown at this point and vacation of the easement may cause him problems at some point in the future. Certain questions were raised regarding other street vacations and whether or not 2nd Street had actually been vacated. There being no further comment, the public hearing was closed. The City Administrator suggested that rather than vacate the entire right-of-way as requested by Mr. Bredeck, that the south half of the right-of-way be vacated so that Mr. Bredeck's concern of a through road could be addressed and yet Mr. Houlton would have access to his property off of the shortened right-of-way.
