<br /> "On December 14, 1982, the Council appointed viewers to consider the application to
<br />vacate, close and discontinue a 16-foot alley on the east side of Tyre Neck Road running
<br />parallel to Trucker Street in the Churchland area of the City. The application £or closure
<br />of the alley is being made in connection with the development of a child day care center, which
<br />Council has previously considered and approved a use permit for. The viewers report, a copy
<br />of which is attached, recommends approval of the closure of this allay. Upon adoption of the
<br />attached ordinance closing this alley as a public way, the adjoining property owners to the
<br />north and south of it will each have title to an additional 8 feet of property.
<br />
<br /> I recommend adoptmon of the attached ordinance closing the 16-foot alley if a mutually
<br />agreeable value of the easement can be determined."

<br />
<br /> Substitute motion of Mr. Whitlow and seconded by Mrs. Webb, that the matter be deferred
<br />for two weeks (February 8, 1983), and was adopted by unanimous vote.
