' 4 <br /> COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM <br /> No. 99-64 <br /> March 31, 1999 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Terry M. Howley and City Council Members <br /> FROM: James L. William ., City Mana er „ <br /> Cecil A. Collins, r., Director ��� <br /> Kathy J. Miller, Planner ��� <br /> SUBJECT: Alley Vacation North of 100 Block of West Johnson Avenue <br /> A valid request has been received from property owners adjoining the subject alley to vacate the <br /> same. Inasmuch as the alley in question serves only the adjoining property, and that an extension <br /> of this alley to the immediate north and ending at the Illinois Central Railroad has previously been <br /> vacated, staff is of the opinion that said alley is no longer necessary to serve the general public and <br /> that best interests of the City of Decatur would be served by approving the vacation request. <br /> A perpetual easement would be retained for operation and maintenance of e�sting utility lines. <br /> Further, an appraisal in the amount of $600.00 has been submitted to determine fair market value <br /> and compensation to the City of Decatur. <br /> Staff recommends approval of the proposed alley vacation as submitted. <br />
