Staff has not identified any existing or future public purpose that would be served by the property and there are no foreseeable plans for an expansion of Spruce Street. Staff has requested a small (5-foot by 60-foot) strip of land at the northeast corner of the right-of-way be reserved for public right-of-way to preserve the ability to move traffic control signage and potentially a fire hydrant back behind the sidewalk.
