The request from George and Hazel Stephens, is to vacate a portion of Arrowhead Drive adjacent to Lot 20, Block 1 in such a manner that the right-of-way line of Arrowhead Drive adjacent to Lot 20 would be a curve of 95 feet in radius, instead of the "eyebrow" configuration which now exists. Ms. Keithley further explained the portion of the eyebrow in consideration is already developed and landscaped, and the pavement of Arrowhead Drive actually follows the proposed vacation request. She noted the only lot affected by this vacation is Lot 20, which is owned by the applicants. Ms. Keithley found no safety concerns with this request. The applicant, Hazel Stephens, stated the request is being made because the configuration takes so much out of the property, and they would like to install a brick wall with lights, but need the extra space to accomplish this. After further discussion, Commissioner Webster moved to approve said vacation. The motion, which was seconded by Hall, carried unanimously. RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the consent agenda. There were no ordinances.
