by law Mr McDonald explained that the property owners representing 100% of the abutting property have requested the vacation of the unused portion of Argent right-of-way (R-O-W) lying south of the current alignment between Road 48 and Road 52 The construction of Interstate 182 and the underpass at Road 48 and Argent Road yielded excess right-of-way which previously served as a portion of Argent Road The City Engineer determined that vacation of this right-of-way is complicated due to a portion of this area having been "turned back" to the City after the freeway was constructed If the R-O-W was purchased with Federal dollars then R-O-W vacation could become complex and possibly involve compensation Staff attempted to locate these "turn back" documents, without success The State Department of Transportation and the Franklin County Auditor may have the necessary information and research with these agencies has been initiated Staff suggests this item be postponed until the issue related to "turn back" agreements can be resolved It was also determined by Staff that when the water line goes down Argent Road next summer, there may be a need for a portion of this street for

Engmeer has no objection to the vacation of the north/south alley in this block and determined an easement is not needed The Franklin County P U D has requested easements be retained on the
