The roadway provides access solely to the residential properties owned by Stephen Hennings, Lawny Norvell, Larry Freeland, Western Excavation and Judith Lenberg. There will be no physical changes to the site and there are no parcels addressed off of this street.

All owners have signed off on the vacation and City Engineering has no additional comments. The vacation will not adversely impact use of the right-of-way for public utility and/or drainage purposes because an easement will be left in place for public utilities and private access for lots 1-12 Block ...
