September 15, 1959 3 ' Honorable Mayor Baxter and Members of the City Council Gentlemen: At its regular meeting of September 10, 1959, the Planning Commission considered the petition for vacation of a portion ,of May Street and a prr+tion of 7th Avenue North by the Pacific Coast R. R. Company and the Pacific Car and Foundry Company' (It_em 5, Planning Commission-Minutes) . The Planning Commission' noted that the petitioners proposed to dedicate other right-of- way in the area and that the net result of the requested vacation and the proposed dedication would be an improvement of the street pattern in the area and be conducive to industrial development of adjacent property. The Planning Commission therefore recom- mends that the vacation of streets as requested by Pacific Coast . R. R. Company and Pacific Car and Foundry Company be granted and that the additional right-of-way offered by the Pacific Coast R. R. Company be accepted.
