TOWNSHIP OF ESSEX FELLS NEW JERSEY P.O. Box 38 Essex Fells, New Jersey 07021 October 26, 1984 The Honorable Samuel Spina Mayor of the Township of West Orange 66 Main Street West Orange, New Jersey 07052 Dear Mayor Spina, First let me thank you for the time you spent with Mrs. Whitehead, Mr. Bate and myself on Tuesday. We were encouraged with your positive reaction to our proposal. The vacation of the portion of Oval Road west of the entrance to the condominium project to the Essex Fells line would ensure the permanent prohibition of public use of this roadway. Both adjoining property owners have advised me of their desire to vacate this portion of the road; and their willingness to provide a permanent easement for the exclusive use of emergency vehicles. In summary, | believe that all interests would be accomodated and the Township of Essex Fells would than be assured that the possibility of future modification of use would be eliminated. As we mentioned, the streets in Essex Fells were designed to accomodate our local traffic. Our road widths are narrow and have no sidewalks. Significant developments in towns contiguous with our borders, have in- undated our streets to unsafe levels and we must be concerned with any situation that could aggravate. this condition. Again, our appreciation for time and your understanding of our situation. Please let me know if there is anything further we might do to expedite Sincerely, pela the requested vacation of this portion of Oval Road. Awol Lh. idee anol!
