<br />November 1962, S-2~62. ~cords show that an ordinance~ of City Council was passed on
<br />December 11, 1962 closing a portion of King Street between the east line of Potomac
<br />A~enue and the north line of Airline Boulevard. However, applicants, eleven years ago,
<br />neglected to apply for appointment of viewers, and there is now legal doubt that an
<br />actual closure occurred to the satisfaction of all parties involved.
<br />
<br /> The P~anning Commission again resolved to recommend closure of King Street between
<br />the east line of Potomac Avenue and tne north line of Airline Bouelvard, subject to
<br />retention of a twelve (12) foot easement to maintain, operate and replace a fifteen (15)
<br />inch concrete storm d~ain and cast iron drop inlet."
