vacate Windham Street, a width of 50' , from Bomar Avenue north to the Dallas-
Fort Worth Turnpike right-Of-way; and Jamaica Street, a width of 50' , from

is retained as a utility easement. A satisfactory replat has been submitted.
The City Plan Commission has reviewed this request and recommends that the
subject street rights-of-way be sweated,
