This right-of way is functionally a private <br />driveway today, although in 1902 it served as an alley for dry-land access to Lots 4,5 and 6 of North <br />Shore Cottage Acres. Lots 4 and 5 have since been the subject of subdivisions to create additional small <br />parcels (see Plat Map, Exhibit B) on each side of the alley. These small parcels were at some point in time <br />acquired by a pror owner of Lot 4, and have become pan of the 3-parcel grouping proposed for <br />constmetion of a home at 1070 West Femdale Road. The parcels have never been legally combined; legal <br />combination should become a requirement of this vacation and the related variance request, j^jplication <br />#04-2995. <br />1 <br />i <br />..jm
