Mr. Joe Morahan, Property Management Director, noted that this property was being sold at $1 per foot because there were some improvements and details, and the land value was appraised at around $3.75 per square foot. He added that the amount charged for this vacation was according to a policy that Council adopted in June, 1972, that specified that the charge to be made for vacated right of way was based on 75% of the full tax value of the adjoining property.
