A BILL IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

Councilmember Graham introduced the following bill, which was referred to the Committee of the Whole.

To reinstate an Act that ordered the closing of a public alley in Square 2837, bounded by Monroe Street, N.W., Holmead Place, N.W., Park Road, N.W., and 14th Street, N.W. in Ward 1.

Sec. 2. Pursuant to Section 201 of the Street and Alley Closing and Acquisition Procedures Act of 1982, effective March 10, 1983 (D.C. Law 4-201; D.C. Code § 7-421) , the Council of the District of Columbia finds that a public alley in Square 2837, as shown on the Surveyor's plat filed under S.O. 92-195, is unnecessary for alley purposes and orders it closed, with title to the land to vest as shown on the Surveyor's plat. The approval of the Council of the District of Columbia of this closing is contingent upon the filing, in the Office of the District of Columbia Recorder of Deeds, of a covenant between the District of Columbia and the owners of the lots abutting the alley to be closed that incorporates the following conditions:

(1) A condition that the disposition of any real property included within RLA parcels 29, 24, or 27 shall be subject to the approval of the Council by resolution. The proposed resolution to provide for the disposition of the properties shall be submitted to the Council by the Mayor for a 30 day period of review, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, legal holidays, and days of Council recess. If the Council does not approve or disapprove the proposed disposition of the properties, in whole or in part, by resolution within the 30 day period, the proposed resolution shall be deemed approved;

(2) A condition requiring a commitment that the developer shall exert his best efforts to comply with a noise abatement plan approved by the Redevelopment Land Agency; and

(3) A condition that approximately 15% of the land purchase proceeds received by the Redevelopment Land Agency from the disposition of RLA Parcel 29 shall be set aside by the Redevelopment Land Agency to assist in the financing of a police substation in Columbia Heights.

Sec. 4. The Council adopts the fiscal impact statement contained in the Committee Report as the fiscal impact statement required by section 602(c)(3) of the District of Columbia Self-Government and Governmental Reorganization Act, approved December 24, 1973 (87 Stat. 813; D.C. Code § 1233(c)(3)).

Sec. 5. The Council shall transmit a copy of this act, upon its effective date, to the Office of the Surveyor of the District of Columbia.

[Sec. 6 missing]

Sec. 7. This Act shall take effect following approval by the Mayor (or in the event of veto by the Mayor, action by the Council of the District of Columbia to override the veto). approval by the Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance Authority as provided in section 203(x) of the District of Columbia Financial Responsibility and Management Authority Act of 1995, approved April 17, 1995 (109 Stat. 116; D.C. Code § 47-392.3(c)), and a 60-day period of Congressional review as provided in section 602(c)(2) of the District of Columbia Self-Government and Governmental Reorganization Act, approved December 24, 1973 (87 Stat. 813; D.C. Code § 1-233(c)(2)), and publication in the District of Columbia Register.
