Mr. Travis R. Saunier, GPD Associates, 520 South Main Street, Akron, Ohio, representing Tricon Global Restaurants for the redevelopment of the Taco Bell Project, made the presentation for this vacation. Mr. Saunier stated that when they submitted a site plan to redevelop the Taco Bell at 231 East Ireland Road the issue of this Easement was questioned by the City Engineer who recommended that they petition to have that Easement vacated. This is an Access Easement that was put in place some years ago and at this time Taco Bell has no use for the Easement. The vacation will not hinder the development of the properties on either side and therefore, they would like to vacate the Easement. This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the above bill, proponents and opponents were given an opportunity to be heard.
