02C,, �I 1 REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 14 2000 Mr. Gilot advised that the Board is in receipt of favorable recommendations concerning this Vacation Petition from the Area Plan Commission, Police Department, Fire Department, Sanitation, Department of Economic Development and the Department of Public Works. Area Plan noted that the legal description is incorrect. The current legal description reads as though the property owners are requesting to vacate their own properties, rather than a proportion of the right of way. Only one of the four homeowners along the right of way has signed the petition. Area Plan would recommend that this right of way is vacated, that it be subject to any utility easements that may be required and also be subject to a public access easement for pedestrian traffic. It appears that the existing sidewalk at 1024 Napoleon Street and 1126 North Frances Street will be on private property if this petition is granted. Therefore, Mr. Gilot made a motion that the Board send a favorable recommendation to the Common Council concerning this Vacation Petition. Ms. Roemer seconded the motion which carried.
