Ordinance authorizing the abandonment of an area designated as head-in parking on Curtiss Avenue behind 2015 East Main Street.

Analysis
The abandonment applicant, Geraldine Velazquez, has requested the abandonment of an area designated as a 40-foot head-in parking in an old dedication dated November 9, 1929. This area is currently used as this head-in parking in injunction with the business located at this address and is of no benefit to the City. Abandonment and release of this area would help to clear up title ownership to the head-in parking area.

Staff has reviewed the requested abandonment and finds that the abandonment would not hinder drainage or utilities in the area.

Financial Consideration
No financial consideration required.
