Grimes has requested that the City close Perry Street which is located off Victory Blvd. near the intersection o~ Afton Parkway. The closure request involves a 720 x 30 foot section of unimproved right-of-way. The owmer of the adjacent property indicates that the additional land would be used in conjunction with an expansion of a private marina on Paradise Creek. This request has been reviewed favorably by the road viewers which were appointed by City Council on October 11, 1988. The Planning Staff recommended denial of the closure in order to retain the right-of-way for possible future public access to Paradise Creek. The Planning Commission concurred with the Planning S%aff recommendation-by 3-2-1 vote to recommend denial of the closure. The key Issue is the protection of public access to the major waterways within the City. From past discussions with the City Attorney, conditions drawn to protect the public in such instances: 1. A perpetual easement, privilege and right-of-way to install, operate, maintain and replace electric power lines and telephone lines be reserved for the' City. 2. For the benefit of citizens, the right ingress along the closed street during the hours the adjacent marina shall be reserved for public of egress and of operation of use. 3. The right of ingress and egress shall include, but not limited to, the right of temporary tying of boats at the end of the property for the purpose of loading and unloading of pleasure boats. 4. The right of ingress and egress shall specifically not include the right of persons to fish, crab or swim on or adjacent to the subject property. I, therefore, recommend adoption of the proposed ordinance for a closing of Perry Street with the conditions as noted." Motion of Mr. Gray and seconded by Mrs. Lucas, the following ordinance was adopted on first and final reading, and by the following vote: "AN ORDINANCE CLOSING A PORTION OF PERRY STREET."
