Mr. Weeks reported xhaC Dickey Street is a dedicated street 25 feet wide. All the properCies that back up to Dickey have access to King except the corner lot, which has access to Roosevelt. Other access is to back yards, but not garageso There is a precedent fnr access. There is a 27-inch storm drain ru�ing down Che center. To vacate the property would mean that one-half would revert to current ownera, Che other half to Redwood City. There are two approaches to the problem whfch could be made: 1) To use the 12'� feet; 2) To purchase the property, in which case there might be some severance damages because of th�: access to the back of lots. An alternative would be to design the parking lot utilizing the area to ita best advantage and granting access, This will all be dstermined as plans are prepared for the area.
