We find that this alley is not essential to provide a secondary means of access to the Industrial properties to the north or south of it. There is an unimproved alley running north and south through ,this blodS which ig opened and improved, would give adequate service to the area. The alley proposed to be vacated is not needed as a part of any of the City's General Development Plans for this area. We therefore recommend that this alley be vacated. We also wish to point out that we feel it would be highly desirable -to have the overhead electric lines and telephone lines, which are in this alley, moved to a location along the south right-of-way line of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad. From this location, service lines could be extended into the Industrial area thus removing from sight some of the overhead wires along the north side of 5th St. N. W." A -motion was then lmade by Leonard that the recommendation be approved with the stipulation -that the petitioner pay for removal of the service lines and that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare'a resolution ordering a hearing on the proposed vacation.
