The City has received the unanimous consent of the property owners abutting the right-of--way under consideration. The public hearing will afford other property owners an opportunity to express their opinions about the proposal and allow the City to determine if there is a majority of support. The recommended resolution will set the public hearing for June 12, 2008, in accordance with ORS 271.110. Walter Moczygemba made a motion to approve Resolution No. 1175, A Resolution Setting a Public Hearing and Initiating Proceedings to Vacate Abandoned Portions of North 3~d Street.
