Upon motion made by Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, the Board filed the Assessment Roll and set June 26, 1978 at 9:30 a.m. as the time for a public hearing on the Assessment Rolla PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED - VACATION RESOLUTION NO. 3456 The public hearing on Vacation Resolution No. 3456 for the vacation of the east -west alley between Wayne and Jefferson, running west from Lafayette to the first north -south alley, was continued until this date with a report requested from the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting. The following report was submitted: "This Bureau investigated the request to vacate an east /west alley, running west from the midblock of 200 S. Lafayette to the first north /south alley, parallel to and west of Lafayette. A field investigation revealed a number of parking lots located on Wayne and Jefferson Blvd. which do exit onto the east /west alley in that block. A number of these lots are designed with entry only off the street and forcing an exit only into the alleys. That portion of the vehicles and drivers exiting Lafayette would be inconvenienced by this vacation. It should be noted, however, that there are five (5) other alley exits to other streets from this block other than the one exit onto Lafayette. The field check further revealed the demolition of a building located in the southwestern quadrant of the alley intersection in question and reversion of this area to a parking lot. It is recommended that any alley vacation be subject to dedication of necessary right -of -way from this southwestern quadrant to allow for ease and mobility in a turning movement to and from the north /south alley behind the Gurley -Leep buildings. The design of this additional dedicated right -of -way should be handled through the Department of Public Works, Bureau of Design and Administration and the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting. s/ Ralph J.
