Body

SUMMARY: 

Ordinance 9203-18 amends Ordinance 3547-84 which was originally adopted on second reading by City Council (then Commission) on May 3, 1984. A recent review of title documentation involving the subject area revealed an inconsistency as between the legal description and the depiction by sketch.

This ordinance is to clarify that the intent of Ordinance 3547-84 was to vacate the West four feet of the 100-foot right-of-way of Garden Avenue abutting Lots 35 through 39 only and that no portion of Garden Avenue right-of-way south of the southerly boundary of Lot 35 was vacated by Ordinance 3547-84.

The City Council previously found that said right-of-way was not necessary for municipal use and deemed it to be in the best interest of the City and the general public that the same be vacated.
