The petitioners seek to vacate the following portion of easement:

The petitioners request this vacation of a portion of easement for the following reason: To clear title in order to close sale of property.  Dwelling was built in easement in 1957 or 1958.

After reviewing the petition and inspecting the property, the Board has two alternatives:

 

1.        To approve the petition as requested.
