CITY OF WAUKEE, IOWA
CITY COUNCIL MEETING COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: March 18, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Public Hearing on the vacation and disposal of public property pursuant to
Iowa Code Sections 354.23 and 364.7 (2024) [Songbird Park]
FORMAT: Public Hearing
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: Songbird Park is located east of 1st Street Place and is an
unimproved park that was acquired several years ago. The portion of Songbird
Park proposed to be vacated was supposed to be deeded to an adjoining
property owner in 2003 in exchange for an ingress/egress easement. The
adjoining property owners, Roger Schlaefer and Majorie Hammer, granted the
easement which was subsequently recorded. The deed filed in 2003 to transfer
the property contained several scrivener errors and the property was never
transferred.
It is staff’s recommendation that the small portion of Songbird Park
(approximately 2,500 square feet) should be considered for vacation and
disposal.
