As I also discussed with you, a portion of the property abutting on the street and alley requested to be abandoned are not currently owned by our client~ rather, our client has contracted to purchase these properties and copies of the purchase agreements executed in connection therewith and the commitments for title insurance issued pursuant thereto are enclosed herewith. It is my understanding from our discussion that the City can proceed with the application for purposes of issuing a policy determination which would indicate whether the abandonment request would be granted or not and that upon closing of the purchase of the remaining properties abutting on the street and alley, our client can then proceed with the street and alley closing on a pre- approved basis. Accordingly, the enclosed application is submitted to you for purposes of obtaining a policy determination with the understanding that our client will execute and deliver to you the necessary written consent and waiver of claim form and the street and alley closing application within the next few days. I have also enclosed the following: 1- two ( 2 ) copies of a plat of the street and alley to be abandoned prepared by R. M. Atkinson, Jr. , Engineers, Inc . ~
