Gerald,

Alice spoke to Dan this morning and the tiebreaker is in  We will not be requiring Mr. Bell to orient his properties towards the alley and will pursue vacation.

I will contact Ray and let him know that his original designs will work for review, less one water/sewer lateral each.

A next step is to contact the abutting owners on Eckerd and let them know that we are exploring vacation of the Eckerd alley between 2^nd and 3^rd STs. A situation where abutting owners will each gain’ half the alley width (6.75 ft. ) Sam and I can work on that letter this week.

Best,

Dan Zinder

DH –

If you have a moment today, can we touch base for a few regarding a question that came up for two duplex designs on Eckerd ST. If not, it can wait until Monday when Alice returns.

In short – an applicant wants to build duplexes on two parcels that abut a rear alley on Eckerd Ave and has submitted initial designs. In this case, abutting neighbors have encroached on the alleys with new fencing/belongings. Our development code requires that the house accesses orient towards the alleys. We can require them to move their stuff. However, I know Gerald has pushed towards vacation, which is another option to pursue here. These applications bring the question of what to do with the alleys/how to proceed with the applicant to the forefront.

Best,

Dan Zinder
