Title

Vacation of right of ways on two separate areas of Beck Road.

 

Summary

DESCRIPTION OF TOPIC: (who, what, when, where, why, and how much)

Beck Road runs east and west from Juniper Street and turns south in between the properties the City purchased for the sports fields. The City of Foley finds that it is prudent to relocate/reroute two portions of Beck Road as outlined on the attached map.  Before the vacation of these two parcels can take place the City Engineer must gain an easement from the property owners so that a right of way can be in place so that a certain parcels of land will not be land locked.  If the easement is not acquired prior to the vacation then it will have to be contingent upon gaining the easement.  If the easement is never gained the vacation will be null and void.
