SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: Niel Jayasinghe, President of North Main Condos, LLC, and SL Asset Holdings, LLC, requested the abandonment and sale of a portion of a 12 foot-wide alley, between North Main Street and Cornell Street, located between Lot 36, Block 22 of the Sunset Heights Addition and Lot 1, Block 1 of the Kluski Place Section 1 Replat, both out of the John Austin Survey, A-1. Since the alley is void of any public utilities and serves only the two abutting property owners, it is no longer needed. The property owners plan to use the alley as a driveway.

The City will abandon and sell to North Main Condos, LLC:
