McCrea Constniction Uc#340940 1284 Virage Lane, Chico, CA 95973 6/28/2017 Nancy Kelly City of Chico Public Works Engineering Here is the information to support our request to use the abandoned alleyway to the south side of the property owned by Michael A. and Stacy A. Button A.P. # 005-281-012(see map). The intended use is for parking to support work-in-progress for their business, Affordable Automotive. Accordingly, they will securely fence and gravel the area requested only. No structures or other permanent facilities will be erected. This will serve the dual purposes of supporting a local business, cleaning up a frequently used homeless hangout, and eliminating a City maintenance expense. I discovered this area was created when the City of Chico bought the entire Dayton Mutual Water District easement (known as the Crouch Ditch) from the State of California on a tax sale for $500.00 to be used as part ofthe storm drain system. Not wanting an alley exiting onto Park Avenue they created, by easement, the turnout to 21 st Street. The portion of this alleyway nearest to Park Avenue was sold to and made part ofthe property to the south (A.P. #005-283-006) on the corner of Park Avenue and 22nd Street, leaving the piece in question here. An interesting aside is that the prior owner ofthe property deeded 15 feet oftheir western border, as an easement, to turn the alley out to 21 St Street in the first place. If I can provide any more information, feel free to call me at 521-1885 Thank You Bruce McCrea - Agent PS. Michael A. Button will sign the grant of license Phone - 530-521-1885 Etiiail - bruceinccrea44@valioo.com ATTACHMENT'B'
