Mason III, asking that the City sell a 0.029 acre portion, and a 0.111 acre portion of the unimproved north/south Taylor Avenue right-of-way, for a total of 0.140 acres, north of Corwin Avenue. Transfer of this right-of-way will facilitate improvements to an existing business located on property adjacent to the above noted right-of-way, owned by Mr. Mason located at 1668 East 5th Avenue.

After review of the request, the Land Review Commission voted to recommend the above referenced right-of-way be transferred to Mr. Raymond E. Mason for $2,402.00.
