REGULAR MEETING FEBRUARY 14 2017 38 Engineering stated their records show a discrepancy in property ownership with two (2) different property owners listed. Engineering and the Fire Department state the vacation would make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or inconvenient due to one (I) property with garage access on the alley. Ms. Maradik stated the garage is located on the north alley, and this vacation request is for the south section, so the garage access is not an issue.
