To improve student and vehicular access, the school <br />district proposes to install a student drop-off zone and a 10-foot wide <br />bus turn-out lane on Broadway Place. To facilitate these improvements, <br />the vacation of the southerly portion of Broadway Place and Broadway <br />adjacent to the school site is needed (Exhibit 1). <br /> <br />Existing overhead utilities and street lighting in the vacated area will <br />be relocated outside of the new school district property. The southerly <br />end of Broadway will be reconfigured into a partial cul-de-sac on the <br />east side of the street. Easements for the City's storm drain <br />facilities and the Orange County Sanitation District sewer trunk <br />facilities will be reserved in the resolution of vacation. <br /> <br />12A-1 <br />
