We are proceeding under section 354.23 of the subdivision statute. It is specific to a desire on the part of
the city and the landowner to vacate a part of a plat that consists of streets and or alleys to allow a
reconfiguration of a previously approved plat. This specific procedure, when a city chooses to use it,
takes precedence over the more general and convoluted procedures of sections 364.7 and 364.12 Code
of Iowa.

Eric-
John Klaus has been working with Deb Kraught to have her include the appropriate documents that
vacate the"old" alleys and streets and replaces them with the new ones shown on the 13th plat. It is my
understanding that the City must be a signatory to the documents to make it official. No separate action to
vacate is required if the documents are correct. I would ask you to emphasize in the Action Form that the
vacations are taking place.
Let me know if you have any questions as you move forward.

Paul, along with the Final Plat for Somerset 13th, the applicant is required to vacate the extra right-of-way
for Eaton Ave. as they are reducing it from a local street to an alley. Normally Public Works handles street
and alley vacations, will someone over there work on that Action Form? I can prepare one if I need to,just
let me know.
Thanks,
