John C. DeMoss May 3,1998 Page 2 «• whether Portland Place was considered as vacated at that time. In a letter on file from Mr. Moe dated November 15,1971 he indicates he granted the City a sewer easement over 'Parcel 260', i.e. a portion of theproperty w’est of Portland Place City files appear to contain no easement documents that would confirm or deny whether an easement was granted for the sewer in Portland Place; at this date I must assume there is no easement of record, and ask that such an easement be granted to the City, per the conditions of Resolution No. 3950. As of this writing the City Council has not been advised of the possible discrepancy regarding whether Portland Place has actually been vacated. The lot line rearrangement review by the Planning Commis.iion and Council last fall was, of course, based on the assumption that Portland Place had been vacated at some past date, and this was also apparently assumed by their surveyor. The City at this point has no intent to open Portland Place to vehicular travel, but certainly has an interest in it related to maintenance of the existing utility lines. A formal application for the vacation of Portland Place would likely be in order if your search similarly comes up empty-handed.
