Re: Vacating a portion of Clara Street to allow for modifications to the Mercy Institutional District
Dear Mayor Duggan and City Council Members,
Mercy Medical Center (Mercy) is requesting that Clara Street be shortened, and the cul -de -sac relocated,
to allow for development of property owned by Mercy, which is located on the south side of Clara Street.
The portion of the street, approximately 170 feet, which we are requesting be vacated, is abutted on both
sides by property currently owned by Mercy.
This request comes about as a result of Heartland Regional Paramedic Service's desire to centralize their
operations on the Mercy campus. After looking at various locations, it was determined that the property
adjacent to Clara Street, and in the immediate vicinity of the Emergency Department was the best choice.
It allows the potential for emergency vehicles to access Wooten Street from Mercy property, thus
minimizing their travel through residential areas. Wooten Street offers immediate access to the Dodge
Street/Highway 20 corridor via Hill Street. This is the same path that is currently used by emergency
vehicles entering and exiting the Emergency Room.
Due to the deteriorated condition of the existing cul -de -sac, the fact that it only serves vacant Mercy
property, and other topographical issues, we felt that rebuilding it farther to the west would benefit all
interested parties. The Zoning Advisory Commission concurred with our assessment and supported our
proposal for vacating a portion of Clara Street and rezoning the adjacent Mercy owned property to
Institutional District (ID).
We have submitted a sketch of the proposed changes to the City Engineer's office and have received
positive comments from Mr. Ron Turner regarding the vacating of this property. He forwarded a copy of
the "Vacating Procedure" to our office, and we are now in the process of complying with those items
listed. We will continue to work with City staff to meet the requirements of this procedure.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If there are any questions regarding the information
contained here within, please contact me at 589 -9690.
Respectfully sub tied,
