Good evening, council, to our clerk, our mayor, city attorney. Just a quick overview. Uh we provided a report regarding this alley vacation. Um it was filed on January 16th by uh the petitioner who is present here in the council chambers, Wasim Almari. Um it is to vacate the north south alley which is located south of E course east of Lraine and south of the vacated portion of Warman Avenue. Um the petitioner received 67% of the prop uh signatures of the property owners with lineal front uh front footage above in the alley. There were no objections from our DPW department or our fire department regarding approval of this petition. Obviously according to the city charter approval of any vacations is at the discretion of council. um action will be under the first report of the regular meeting. Let's hear present and speak on his petition. His petition.

Good evening. Yeah, we applied for the vacation of the alley because we need access to the other property. We own two properties. Uh they're next to each other, but it was landlocked by the vacation of her dead. Exactly. These two. and uh the the the one in in Cordell was uh landlocked when they vacated Cordell. So that's the only option that we have to vacate the alley so we have the access from the other property. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Any questions from council? Madam Chairman, Mr. Wsworth,

if I can. Uh this property is a little landlock and it can be built on. So this is kind of a nobrainer for me. Okay. Okay. Thanks, Mr. Wildsburg. Any other discussion? Okay.
