V-325-26: Vacate Alley north of Western Avenue, east of Linden Place (lk)

Description

Vacate Alley north of Western Avenue, east of Linden Place (lk)

Summary

Toledo Plan Commission case V-325-26 concerns an application by Jose Padilla-Hernandez and Yvette Villanueva to vacate a 12.3-foot-wide east-west alley and part of an 11.66-foot-wide north-south alley north of Western Avenue and east of Linden Place in the Old South End. The applicant owns the adjacent vacant property and seeks to prevent through-traffic and parking, potentially for future urban agriculture or a home. City staff recommends disapproval because the vacation could restrict access to neighboring residences, create a dead-end alley from Eastern Avenue, and disrupt the neighborhood street grid. Public utilities, including a sanitary sewer and Toledo Edison facilities, also occupy the area and would require permanent easements. If approved, a turnaround and protections ensuring continued property and utility access would be required.
