Mr. Paul C. Thiessen, Mrs. Dorothy C. Thiessen, and Mr. J. M. Harvey, owners of
abutting property, have requested the abandonment of a 15 by 1.40 foot strip
along the west edge of Tract 18, J. L. Purvis Survey, owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Thiessen, in order to clear title to the property. The reason for the original
dedication is unknown; however, the abstract records ,the Medication prior to
1900, perhaps to provide access to property land-locked at that time. Maps
showing the strip proposed for abandonment are attached.
Private utility companies and the City Public works, water, Traffic Engineering,
and Planning Departments have no objection to abandoning the.right-of-way.
On July 8, 1964, the City Plan Commission reviewed the request and recommends
that City Council adopt an ordinance abandoning the right-of-way as requested.
