Access Surveyors, on behalf of Douglas Memorial Church is requesting abandonment of a
right-of-way. This right-of-way is a 20’ wide alley that extends between Oakland Street on
the west and Ewing Street on the east and is approximately 300’ long. Property owners in

abandonment. The abandoned right-of-way will be used, in part, to accommodate a new

easement should be designated for the utilities located there.
