Council Denies Street Vacation

Warsaw City Council, citing a concern for the greater public good, denied a recommendation to vacate the city's right-of-way of a portion of Widaman Street Monday. "The basic question tonight is whether the public right-of-way provides public access to the lake," said City Planner Jeff Noffsinger in explaining Ordinance 98-11-1. The ordinance would have vacated a 31-foot right-of-way from Brubaker Street to Pike Lake, with one-half of the right-of-way going to the adjoining property owners Lewis P.Dobbins and David Essig. "Our purpose for seeking the vacation is to be able to expand our lot so that we can meet the city's requirement for lot width for the purpose of building a retirement home on the lot," Essig said. Essig's lot, which lies to the north of the right-of-way, is currently 45 feet.The city requires a 20-foot setback.
