Resolution to Vacate Roadway Rights in a 50-foot by 178-foot Area Fronting 2727 S. State Street (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 8 Yeas and 0 Nays) (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
Approval of this resolution will vacate an approximately 50-foot wide, 178-foot long right for future roadway across 2727 South State Street.
Petition Summary:
* The City obtained the right to use this area for roadway in 1973 and has not exercised this right to date. This area is currently part of a parking lot belonging to the parcel at 2727 S. State Street.
