Impact analysis
The vacated land would be quit-claim deeded to adjacent owners at no cost, but kept on the tax roll through continued private development.
The petitioners planning a 16-unit apartment complex and adjacent homeowners dealing with overgrown vegetation — plus park users if the promised easement holds.
Park users who currently cut through the Maple Street right-of-way could lose access if easement protections don't hold up.
