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.

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 proposed Certified Survey Map is attached for reference;
