CRESTVIEW — The City Council unanimously agreed to vacate former alleyways that ran through land on which the American Legion post on U.S. Highway 90 currently sits.
The legion is remodeling its facility, and the financial institution backing the project required original signatures on easement and vacation-of-rights documents, City Clerk Betsy Roy said.
Because the original resolution documents granting the vacation, approved by the council on Oct. 11, 1948, are unavailable, the current council had to vacate the no longer existing alleyways again.
The council unanimously adopted the new ordinance on its first reading, moving it to a second reading and probable approval at the Feb. 9 council meeting.
