The following comments and recommendations were submitted from the <br />Engineering Division, Area Plan Commission, Community & Economic Development, Fire <br />Department, Police Department, Solid Waste Division and the City Attorney's Office: <br />Area Plan stated that the vacation would not hinder the growth or orderly development of <br />the unit or neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. Four houses use the <br />alley for garbage pick-up. The vacation would not make access to the lands of the aggrieved <br />person by means of public way difficult or inconvenient. The vacation would not hinder the <br />public's access to a church, school or other public building or place. The vacation would hinder <br />the use of a public right of way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is <br />contiguous. <br />The Department of Solid Waste stated tl2at vacating this alley would affect garbage <br />collection in the area. The Police Department is concerned with garbage pickup for the residents <br />of the 100 block of North Huey Street. Community & Economic Development stated that there <br />appears to be four residents on Huey Street with garages on the alley. The garages do not have <br />access to the street. ' <br />The Board recommended the above vacation favorably pursuant to the garbage and <br />garage access issues being addressed. Evidence in the form of a plan for the resolution of these <br />issues with your adjoining property owners' signatures is required. <br />GARY A. GILOT, P.E. CARL P. LITTRELL, P.E. DONALD E.
