I hereby request that the Common Council accept the Board's <br /> recommendation and proceed with consideration of the ordinance to vacate the referenced <br /> right-of-way. <br /> The subject portion of the alley is not actively utilized for public travel,does not provide <br /> essential access to adjacent parcels,and does not contain public utilities.The proposed <br /> vacation will not hinder the growth or orderly development of the neighborhood, nor will it <br /> restrict access to any adjoining properties,public buildings,or rights-of-way.Instead, <br /> incorporation of this area into the adjoining property will allow for improved maintenance, <br />
