DATE:
November 21, 2001
SUBJECT: Request to abandon 20 foot alley from 13tit St. N.W. to 14th St. N.W. between
Bonham Street and Maple Avenue
I have reviewed the resolution for the above referenced alley abandonment. The alley contains a
sanitary sewer line and is used for drainage, therefore a 20 foot Utility & Drainage easement
would be required. I recommend approval of the resolution with an easement being retained for
the sewer line and drainage.
Sincerely,
