Following a public hearing, Cranbrook council approved the removal of a road dedication for a portion of 12th Avenue South so it can be sold.
The owners of 1112 13th Street South approached the city to buy a piece of land that was dedicated roadway but was not used as a road.
A carport had been built on the road dedication prior to the current owners purchasing the property.
City staff say they aren’t concerned about losing the portion since the roadway is already unusually wide.
The value of the portion of land was appraised at $10,000.
Once the sale goes through the money will go into the Land Sale Reserve Fund.
