This is not normal, the easement was dedicated in a unusual way in the 1960s. Ashley, due to SEDA and joint elected officials meetings. the earliest I can get on the agenda' is July 18th. I'll have you coordinate with Karen on the 20-day notice and write the AIS. I'll present it to the Council on 7/18. This will not delay site construction.

The attached email from Randy outlines what trasnpired yesterday regarding the Railroad Easement anhe Williams Bakery development site. I also received a voicemail message from Turf this morning confirming rhat a fonnal vacation application would be i,ecess3lY to abandon this easement. Hopefully, this will not effect the proposed development in terms of timing-there are no buildings being proposed within the easement. The only improvements consist of a driveway and sidewalk extending out to Nugget Way, That being said, I will do my best to get the application processed as expeditiously as possible, Colin- When do you think t could gel this item on Council's Agenda; I know they go on recess sometime during the summer? .
