<br />own property on the west side of Rodman Avenue, have made application to close a portion of a
<br />10 foot alley across their property in order that the surrounding parcels can be combined to

<br />ed viewers on January 10, 1984, and their report was forwarded to the Planning Commission for
<br />consideration. The Planning Commission at its regular monthly meeting on February 7, 1984,
<br />voted unanimously to recommend to Council that the alley be closed.
<br />
<br /> The viewers' report raised questions concerning the use of the alley for trgsh and garbag

<br />concerns of adjacent property owners. Pat Coffield of m~t staff and Claudia Cotton of the
<br />Planning Department met with a Mr. Russell Britton (agent of Mfs.ltl W.~Hudgins and Manager
<br />of C. W. Hudgins Grocery), and Mr. Britton indicated his questions had been addressed.
<br />Mr. Britton stated he has worked cooperatively with Mr. Soroko in the past and would continue
<br />to do so.
<br />
<br /> A copy of the Planning Commission and viewers' report is attached for your consideration
<br />I recommend adoption of the attached ordinance closing a portion of an unnamed alley on the
<br />west side of Rodman Avenue."
