(a) As provided by K.S.A. 12-505, if the City Council determines that the petition should be granted, the City Council shall order by appropriate ordinance that such vacation be made. Said order may include the reservation to the City and the owners of any lesser property rights for public utilities, rights-of-way and easements for public service facilities.

(b) The petition shall not be granted if a written objection thereto is filed with the City Clerk at the time of or before the hearing by any owner or adjoining owner who would be a proper party to the petition but has not joined therein.

(c) Upon adoption and publication of any vacation order by ordinance, the City Clerk shall certify a copy of such order to the Register of Deeds for recording.

(d) When any street or alley is vacated it shall revert to the owners of land adjoining on each side in the proportion in which it was originally dedicated or taken, except in cases where such street or alley may have been dedicated or taken for public use in a different proportion, in which case it shall revert to the adjoining land in the same proportion as it was dedicated or taken. (Code 1981 § 40-223. Code 1995 § 130-477.)
