Please refer to the <br />attached drawings for the area to be vacated. <br />The reason we are submitting this vacation request is utilize the north 7 <br />feet of the vacated alley in order to develop two homes to the north. <br />The additional 7 feet will give Weiss Homes the needed width for the <br />construction of two homes. Without the additional 7 feet, only one <br />home could be constructed due to the current narrow lot widths. <br />The City Board of Public Works is expected to consider and approve <br />both the vacation request at either their December 22nd meeting <br />dependent upon various city department reviews or at their January <br />12th meeting. <br />If you have any questions or comments regarding this vacation <br />request, please contact our office at 232-8700. <br />We appreciate your time and consideration on this request. <br />Sincerely, ~ `~ (;~~:~~~~ Ofi~t+r~ <br />ABONMARCHE CONSULTANTS, L.L.C. ~1~~ <br />~ ~ SEC _ 8 2p~8 <br />Derek J.
