Motion of Mr. williams and seconded by'Mr. Clemons, the following ordinance was adopted on first reading, and by the following vote: "AN ORDINANCE CLOSING A PORTION OF BARCLAY AVENUE." Ayes: clemons, Corprew, Epperson, King, Hawks, Williams, Webb Nays: None 92-33 - Letter from the City Manager recommending adoption of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement of exchange between Eugene C. Beacham and Edna M. Beacham for the widening of High Street. "The widening of High Street, from Hartford Street to ~ ~ Halifax Street, is scheduled for construction in summer 1992. This widening will require that a twelve foot strip of land be acquired from Beacham's Religious Books and Supplies, Inc., which will eliminate a large portion of their existing parking. The owner is concerned that whatever monetary offer the City may make to compensate him for the loss of his land and parking area will be insufficient to relocate his parking facilities to the rear of the property. He is willing to exchange the needed twelve foot parcel adjacent to High Street for the construction of a new parking lot to the rear of the property. The advantage to the City is that the parking lot may be constructed for less money because the street Contractor will have no mobilization costs, and~ the owner will not be overcompensated fo~ his loss due to the uncertainty of the cost for him to reconstruct the lot with the proceeds of the taking.
