The remainder of the alley easement will continue to allow the public access between Second Street and the private parking lot. Utilities, other government agencies, and City agencies have been advised of the alley easement vacation. In addition, in order to restrict enclosure of the vacated space, Corbiz would be required to record a covenant to prohibit new structures and maintain the area as open space before the vacation of the streets becomes effective.
