It is the staff's opinion that: (1) The vacation would not hinder the growth or orderly development of the unit or neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. (2) The vacation would not make access to the lands of the aggrieved person by means of public way difficult or inconvenient. (3) The vacation would not hinder the public's access to a church, school, or other public building or place. (4) The vacation would not hinder the use of a public way by the neighborhood in which it is located or to which it is contiguous. The Staff recommends that if the alleys are vacated that they be done so subject to any cross-access or utility easements that may be necessary. Also, a turning radius easement may be needed for the remaining north/south alley between Liston Street and Washington Street onto the east/west alley. Sincerely, I~ f i~ U~ Jeffrey O.
