MEMORANDUM
TO: Leo Nelson
FROM: Engineering Department
SUBJECT: Proposed Vacation of Alley
The resident of 661 South Street, Mr. Phillip Seyller, has requested
the vacation of a portion of an alley fronting the southwest end of his
property. The owner of the other property that fronts the same portion
of the alley is Mr. Wesley Clabough of 182 Gertrude Street. Mr. Clabough
was contacted and he is in favor of the City vacating the alley.
This portion of the dedicated alley is 12 feet wide and 55 feet long
and is grassy. It is not used as an alley. The remaining portion,
approximately 210 feet long, goes in a northeasterly direction to Gertrude
Street. It has a gravel base and provides access to a garage. Therefore,
the gravel portion of the alley can not be vacated.
Illinois Bell Telephone Company and Commonwealth Edison Company jointly
own utility poles within the portion of the alley in question. They want
the following clause included in the vacation ordinance:
Commonwealth Edison Co. and Illinois Bell Telephone Company, its
successors and assigns, are granted the right to construct,
reconstruct, -add to, remove,operate, and maintain communication
systems consisting of such poles, anchors, guys, wires, cables,
conduits, terminals, manholes, and other fixtures as said Company
may from time to time require, together with the right of access
to the same in aforesaid described vacated alley or street.
We believe that the best interests of the City of Elgin will be served
by vacating the dedicated portion of the alley that is not used as such
(the southwest 55 feet) . The City will be relieved of maintenance respon-
sibility and liability and the right-of-way will be added to the tax roll.
If vacated, the alley would be divided equally to the adjoining property
owners.
It is recommended that the southwestern most 55 feet length of alley
between lots 4 and 5 in Block 7 of J.C.& W.H. Kimball's Addition to Elgin
(presently between 661 South Street and 182 Gertrude Street) be vacated.
