Withdrawn A portion of Sabine Street from E. 12th St. to E. 12th St. Alley. Mrs. Davis explained the adverse effects the closing of this street would have on her. She had applied for this vacancy some months, then had given her tenants notice to vacate at the suggestion of Urban Renewal. Since there was a delay, she wanted to know so that she would void her request for her tenants to vacate, as delays cost her rent money and further delay in developing her property. This matter was requested in connection with Urban Renewal. She requested that this application be withdrawn for the time being. Since her application was submitted almost a year before the vacancy amendment was passed, she asked the Council to exempt the street and alley abutting her property so that when it is vacated at a later date, she would not have to go through that ordeal again. She asked the City to lease her property for a parking lot for the amount of taxes to be assessed each year against her property. Since Urban Renewal might be able to get her some relief funds from HUD, she asked that the Council recommend to Urban Renewal that they do all in their power to obtain 35% interest on the amount that Urban Renewal offered her for her property until such time that the street is vacated and she receives her portion. After discussion, Councilman Nichols moved the request to withdraw be granted.
