Mr. L. C. Williamson, owner of all property, adjacent to Westhill Road between

on the attached plat. The owner has indicated that the blocks on either side
of the street will be combined into a single tract and become the site of a
new orphanage. The street is unopened and the adjoining blocks are now
vacant.
The City Public Works, Water, T'r'affic Engineering, and Planning Departments

Electric Service Company and Southwestern Bell Telephone Company have lines
crossing the street, for which easements will be retained. The gas company
has no line there and does not object to the closing.
On June 16, 1964, the City Zoning Commission recomr*nded that zoning on the
property be changed to "C" Apartment ClAisification to permit the proposed
use. The rezoning request was granted by City Council July 13, 1964.
On May 13, 1964, the City Plarr Commission reviewed the proposed replat and
Mlosing of the street and recommended that City Council adopt an ordinance
closing the right-of-way, provided easements are retained for existing
utilities. City Council action on the ordinance is requested.
