Title
Vacate/discontinue a portion of Regent Street at its intersection with Owen Parkway in Hoyt Park, in the City of Madison, Wisconsin. (11th AD)
Body
WHEREAS, the Real Estate Division of the City of Madison Community and Economic Development Unit has commissioned a Certified Survey Map of Hoyt School and Hoyt Park, the main purpose of which is to separately define those lands owned by the city and school district, respectively; and
WHEREAS, the Certified Survey Map also shall dedicate a 50-foot wide street right-of-way for the existing Owen Parkway running north and south through the southerly part of Hoyt Park, which street currently has no legal distinction separate from Hoyt Park lands. The existing Regent Street right-of-way in this area was deeded to the City of Madison by the Park and Pleasure Drive Association as Volume 384 of Deeds, Pages 46-62, Document Number 600334 recorded August 28, 1937 in the Dane County Registry; and
WHEREAS, at the intersection of Owen Parkway and Regent Street, the curved street alignment proposed by the Certified Survey Map makes a small triangular portion of Regent Street no longer necessary for street purposes; and
WHEREAS, the vacation of said triangular portion of Regent Street also allows creation of a contiguous outlot (Outlot 1) in the Certified Survey Map for that part of Hoyt Park north and south of Regent Street and west of Owen Parkway; and
WHEREAS, the area to be vacated is shown on an attached map; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Certified Survey Map is attached for reference;
