Hearing Summary 
 
Mr. Christopher DePerro, the Abandonment Hearing Officer opened the hearing and provided 
instructions.  
Ms. Wendy Turner, the Abandonment Coordinator, read the case into the record. 
Mr. DePerro then asked the applicant if the request and purpose read into the record was 
correct. 
Mr. Casey Haderly, the applicant stated that everything was correct and covered.  
Mr. DePerro, then moved on to ask Mr. Haderly about the 42nd Street right-of-way. Mr. DePerro 
stated that it appears the request is for west of the quote centerline, leaving a strip of right-of-
way east of the centerline adjacent to the school and that this would be a slight problematic. Mr. 
DePerro then asked Mr. Haderly if there would be a problem abandoning the rest of the right-of-
way, although it would not go to them. 
Mr. Alan Hilty, the Street Transportation representative then stated that having an improved 
curb and gutter with no real way to access or use would be a problem. Mr. Hilty also stated that 
in the site plan design he saw the right-of-way was incorporated.  
Mr. Haderly, then shared the site plan with Mr. DePerro and Mr. Hilty.

Mr. DePerro and Mr. Hilty both agreed that additional 10 feet of right-of-way would still need be 
abandoned.  
Mr. DePerro proposed that the additional 10 feet of right-of-way could be abandoned informally 
to be able to go forward with the current request.
