The sewer easement releases and the quit clam deeds are necessary because the existing public right of ways are vacated as part of the proposed development of the St. Augustine Prep School located within the area bounded by West Harrison Avenue, vacated South 4th Street, vacated West Cleveland Ave and South 6th Street. All existing sewers within said lands will be conveyed to the owner and the easements released because the sewers and water mains no longer serve the interest of the City.
