The proposed ROW vacation is approximately <br /> 25' in width (45' with flare at west end)and 85' in length and comprises 2,211 square feet or 0.05 <br /> acre. This originally planned street stub was never constructed within the ROW and no utilities <br /> were installed.

The <br /> attached exhibit depicts the area of the proposed ROW vacation along with its relationship to <br /> Emerson Forest Parkway and Irvington Drive. <br /> This proposed ROW vacation will not hinder the orderly growth or development of the property <br /> or adjacent neighborhood in which it is located. Other public street accesses to the property have <br /> been incorporated into the major subdivision of"Woodhaven Hills".The proposed ROW vacation <br /> will also not make access to the property by means of public way difficult or inconvenient and will <br /> not hinder the public's access to a church, school or other public building or place. Current access <br /> from Emerson Forest Parkway and Irvington Drive will be maintained and not restricted in any <br /> way. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> drylL.rucflue <br /> John Lovely <br /> Land Development Manager <br /> Allen Edwin Homes <br /> 2186 East Centre Avenue <br /> Portage, Michigan 49002 <br /> (269) 391-0542 <br /> j lovely(a,allenedwin.com <br />
