Public Comments

Bill Jamerson, President of Jamerson Real Estate said we made that request after we bought that property; we call it the Wheeler property and demolished the houses. There is an alley back behind those houses it had six single family lots. I contacted the adjoining the neighbors, the Roaches. We also contacted the other adjoining neighbors, they are not really involved. That’s the reason we thought about closing the alley and taking it off the books. Thank you.

There were no other comments.

Mayor Harvey closed the public hearing.
