The

is
to
authorize
the
vacating
of
Charles

also
known
as
Markel
Street
for
Manayunk

The

was
granted
to
the
city
by
deed
of
dedication
in

was
not
plotted
on

city
plan.
F
It
is
not
paved
or
in
use
by
the
public
traffic
and
the
existing
grades
and
conditions
make
it
impractical
for
the
city
to
construct
and
maintain
a
street
in
this
location.
The
abutting
property
owners
have
requested
that
the
city
vacate
its
rights
and
this
portion
of
Charles
streets
and
allow
the
land
area
of
the
street
to
refer
back
to
private
property.
This

is
supported
by
the

Afternoon,
chair
member
Thomas
and
members
of
the
streets
and
Services
Committee,
my
name
is
Noel
Marconi,
director
of
legislative
affairs
of
the
Department
of
streets
I'm
here
to
offer
testimony
on
bill
number
two:
zero:
zero,
zero.
Nine
two,
this
bill
authorizes
the
property
owner
independence,
Park
Hotel,
to
construct
own
and
maintain
a
proposed
exterior,
exterior
building
ramp
located
at
235
chestnut
street,
all
under
certain
terms
and
conditions.
F
The
Department
of
streets
is
not
opposed
to
this
proposed
exterior
building
ramp
encroachment,
as
the
owner
adequately
demonstrated
to
us
that
exterior
installation
of
the
building
ramp
was
the
only
feasible
methods
to
meet
all
code
requirements
for
the
building
use
and
that
the
exterior
building
ramp
and
steps
could
not
be
constructed
interior
to
the
building.
A
minimum
of
five
feet
of
clear
passable
sidewalk
space
is
to
remain
on
Chestnut
Street
after
installation,
which
we
feel
is
acceptable
in
this
unique
scenario,
since
it
matches
the
existing
conditions
along
that
block
