Council Member Slavinskas noted that the first item on the

vacate the first East-West alley south of Western Avenue in
Martin's addition.
Mr. Roger Nawrot of Cole Associates, Inc. noted that Mr. Tom
McCalley is delayed in traffic in Kokomo and that he would
give the presentation until Mr. McCalley arrived. He noted
that the purpose of the proposed vacation is to allow
parking. It was noted that there is no plan to close the
alley, however this process is necessary since City
Ordinance prohibits backing into an alley. Mr. Nawrot
presented a topographical map showing the location.
Council Member Slavinskas noted that the Vacation Petition
received favorable recommendations from Area Plan, Economic
Development, and the Board of Public Works.
Mr. Bob Sante of the Area Plan Staff noted that an easement
would be necessary to allow proper turning radius for
vehicles.
At this point, Mr. Tom McCalley of Briarwood Development
Company, Inc. arrived and showed a preliminary site plan of
the area in question. He noted that he had been in contact
with the City Engineering Department to work out the
easement language.

a motion seconded by Council Member Colemen that Bill No.
66-90 be recommended favorably subject to an easement
agreement being approved by the City Engineering Department.
The motion passed.
The next item on the agenda was to review Bill No. 74-90

vacation is to move on-street parking to off-street parking.
He presented a drawing of the area in question (copy

reports from Area Plan, Economic Development and the Board
of Public Works.
Mr. Bob Sante noted that this would leave a "t-alley" and
therefore proper turning radius must be addressed through an
easement agreement.

noted the need for parking in this area.
Following further discussion, Council Member Luecke made a
motion seconded by Council Member Coleman that Bill No. 74-
