PURPOSE:
The Petitioner, Duke Realty, is requesting to vacate a portion of public right of way for Meridian Road/Prairie Lane and Ferry Road.
BACKGROUND:
In the early 2000, Ferry Road was being realigned and constructed further to the south. Therefore, the "old" Ferry Road was vacated. When the vacation occurred, there was a small portion of "old" Ferry Road that was not included. This request would vacate that portion of "old" Ferry Road and the portion of Meridian Road/Prairie Lane that is now lying north of the realigned Ferry Road.
DISCUSSION:
The Petitioner will be constructing two warehouse buildings on the north side of Ferry Road and will be using this vacated area as the entrance into the eastern lot, therefore, the right of way is no longer needed.
